YOUNG GUNS! Sign In and WIN

On the morning of last month's drawing, I got up early, drew the winner, drew the three prizes, sent a PM to the winner, made my formal announcement and went out to work. Boyyyyyyyy did I hear about it from Billy! For the January and February drawings, one of us had drawn the winner's name and the other drew the prizes ... and up until March 31, I never really realized how important it was to him to be involved. He was really mad at me about it.

So this morning as his butt slept in, I again got up early, made the coffee and read my email. I left the Folger's can of entrants' names on the chair, along with the butter dish full of prize numbers and a note to draw the winner and the stuff, and went out to the shop at 10:00.

He buzzed me on the intercom at 11 something. "You need to come in here." "Why? I'm working on this sign and can't really quit right now." "Just come in here for a minute please."

He hands me the long slip of paper with three little numbers stapled to it.

My eyes widened. I asked, "You just picked this randomly, right?"

"Ohhhhh yeahhhhh."

"Wow. I hope there's no appearance of impropriety. I sponsored this kid."

"Yeah I know. But they're good people baby. They'll understand."

Soooooooo banking on Billy's assessment that ya'll will understand this is, always has been, and will always be a random drawing .....
