Congrats to whoever got it! Whether right or wrong I'm sure it will get sorted out in the end. And for the others - GET OVER IT - it's not like it's the friggin 'lotto that you can retire on for the rest of your life for goodness sake. Give me a break - unless you were within 20 seconds let it go. Fun thing that Randy offered, which is how I took the contest. Certainly not enough to lose sleep over & certainly not enough to get upset over. Life is too short people - go win the lotto!

Who here exactly is not getting over it? This thread was started due to a completely legitimate question about the contest results. It may very well be the reason for the correction that followed. I don't see any bitterness in it.

Rather rude of you, IMO, to be telling people to get over it because they think it's the "friggin' lotto". So what if they do?

I second FewMiles' comment that Sharon's tirade is rude and off the mark.

If she had read the thread carefully, it should have been obvious that no one here was complaining that THEY didn't win -- merely that the contest rules were not enforced! The rightful winner, gregseattle, was declared so by Randy once he was back from Labor Day weekend. This settled the issue for good.

Then Sharon comes in six days later and launches an attack over nothing!

Note to Sharon: Read threads more carefully before launching tirade.

Have to agree it looks like it was all settled happily after ptpinit very quickly contacted Randy's staff. Seems to have been handled well all round to me.

HOWEVER seeing we ARE discussing this thread again for some reason, and seeing many number savvy FT'ers got realllll close, can I ask for some likely lotto number suggestions please? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

ozstamps, please try 42. But bear in mind that my guess was something like a month off. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Hey, 2 great Mathematicians like us should work together Few Miles. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

I was more than a month out IIRC.

What is this '42' stuff? I want ALL the winning lotto numbers, not roulette tips!

It's the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything so it should be good enough for both the lotto and roulette. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
