Tomorrow (Saturday) night is the Amarillo Rotary Clubs drawing for the 2002 Thunderbird. There are only 3500 tickets at $50 apiece. I have two tickets. The drawing will also be a reverse drawing so when it gets down to the last 3 or 4 tickets there will be some wheeling and dealing going on to buy those last tickets.

Lon, I assume that since you didn't post after the raffle on Saturday night that you didn't win the car.

Thanks for supporting Rotary anyway!!

No I sure didn't. They drew 100 tickets out of the 3500. Then put the 100 into another hopper and drew them out one at a time. The last one drawn would be the winner. My son-in-law was the 77th one drawn out. He was getting rather anxious after they passed 50.
When it got down to three tickets left, this one guy made a deal with the other two one at a time. He bought both of their tickets. paid $10,000 for one & $7,500 for the other to guarantee him a $40,000 car for $17,500.

That is what I call "Serious horse trading."
I would expect something like that to go down in Texas....
