So there we are selling three thousand chicken BBQ dinners at the annual FD benefit, and my old friend Morris "Chair" Tuttle asks me if I want to go in halvesies on a "Kool Kash" raffle ticket. (500 tickets sold, @ $100 each.) The FD keeps half of the money, and the rest is divvied up into 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc, prizes.
First prize is $10,000. I say sure, put me down for half, and here's a $50 bill. In 61.5 years I've never won anything, so I figure it's just money wasted.
The Chief pulls the first ticket out of the pot, and guess who won?
Drinks are on me tonight at the PW Forum!
