It really doesnt make any difference wether tickets are bought at 1.30 or at 2.59 most of the counterfoils are folded and chucked in the bucket randomly after the final sales. Usually Gary and myself do the folding while Sally and Dave (if not working) are busy counting out the cash. The draw is then made by an independent person and has included a junior WUSA member or a club director. Today because of the numbers sold it took us 20 minutes to get the counterfoils folded and the draw made.
Thank you for your quick considered reply to my points raised I appreciate your response. I will continue to support the 50-50 draw but would like to win soon.
