A Tale from the Raffle Table
File this under the if you wrote it, no one would believe it category. I was manning the raffle table at HeritageCon 13 where you have to be twice lucky to win a prize. Your ticket (from about 3,000) must be drawn and then you have to draw from a bag the number of a prize you win. So our club vice president, Robert, is very busy running the show and gives a cursory check to the probably 30 tickets that he holds (1%) chance of winning and he leaves, disappointed. While he is leaving, I hear him say he bought so many tickets because he wanted prize #104. I offer to double check his tickets just because I realize he is so busy. I sort them roughly numerically and find that he has indeed won a prize. I say to Gary who is manning the table with me "I will draw for Robert as he is absent and not likely to be back." As Gary is passing the bag with the number chips to me for a blind draw, Mallory (Robert's wife) and their two wonderful children happen to come by the booth. Gary says "No let Mallory draw the ticket." Mallory, who has no idea what is going on has the bag of raffle ticket numbers presented to her while everybody starts to chant :"104, 104,104." Mallory reaches into the bag and pulls out prize number 104. Ten or twelve witnesses to the whole event and a highly improbable but welcome result for Robert who was presented with the prize.
