I won one of the 7 day cruises to the Caribbean.

I had bought 3 tickets for $250, ($100 each or 3 for $250). I missed out the early bird prize buy one number.

My number came in tonight.

WOOHOO

edit: sorry, don't mean to sound full of myself. I'm just happy I've never won anything like this before.

Congrats!

250 sounds expensive for a lottery ticket though.

Oh dang - I thought you had made 100M USD and would finance development of Descent 4 now ...

Diedel, I wish.

I've researched the cruise and man it is nice. I'll get the official KPMG letter within 2 weeks.

Don't you have to do some stupid thing like answer a trivia question along the lines of \"What is 1 + 1?\" I thought the law in Canada forbade lotteries and therefore they had to be turned into \"games of skill\".

That's for profit lotto. This was charitable.

Bon voyage, mon ami!

The Caribbean can be sweet indeed.
