Am I Whining??? Maybe, just a little.

I looked at Garcia's Blog this morning and sighed at the fact that I WHIFFED yet again on the monthly LOTTO.

As I near my 4th anniversary of being a member of the community I reflected that I have completed 513 teams (vast majority ATG 7 and 8)....with 20 Active ATG 8 teams.

Not one winning Lotto credit......SIGH!

but heck......why should this be different......I've NEVER won anything in my life, not one door prize, not a raffle, sweepstakes (and I've entered hundreds....I know not a lot by some standards).

I have NEVER bought a LOTTO ticket for that reason, although I did receive FIVE $1 scratch tickets in an office Christmas party one year......of course NOT a single winner.

In fact, I think the most I've ever WON......drumroll please......a small fries one time on a McDonald's Monopoly deal some 20 years ago.

So why should STRAT be any different? Some guys have good luck......me?.....just a 3 leaf clover my friends

10+ years, 500+ teams, also shut out in the "lottery"

That's OK, would donate it anyway at this point

Here it is in 1's and 0s Brad, if I ever do win one, it's coming your way!!!!

DITTO

Nomad and Lanier, check your PMs when you have a minute.

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so.

Hope it's just a coincidence.

I too have been shut out of the lottery, although I have never thought for a second that it was a coincidence.

I managed to hit the lotto either the first or second month when it started.

Well lets see--

those of you that know me from live drafts know I say this ALL THE TIME...

Since the new Ruth card came out Ive played somewhere in the neighborhood of 50+ live drafts.

Have not gotten the first pick one time-- repeat NOT ONCE since it came out.

Its sort of a joke at this point.

SALT - I feel your pain.

I've done 23 LIVE drafts and NEVER had a TOP 3 PICK!!!! Had the 4th pick twice! Had the 10th pick 4 times, 11th pick 4 times and 12th pick.....yes......4 times!!! Let's see here......Half of the time I get a pick #4 thru #9, the other half of the time #10 thru #12 and NEVER #1 thru #3........The odds of not having a TOP 3 pick in 23 drafts have got to be ASTRONOMICAL.....yes I keep a stupid log on minutia like this.

Well, see, there was at least one point where the randomization of the draft was completely stuck--

Just kind of crazy to see odds like this happen so often.
