The Email Lottery Has Ended

From June 1998 to May 1999 I held an email lottery to win an ARR patch. I paid all the expenses (24 patches, 24 envelopes, 24 winner's certificates and postage) and next door neighbor Judge Gary drew two winning names each month. Winners were as far away from me as Switzerland and as close as Springboro (30 minute drive). Robert Krol was the only person to win twice. I have kept records of all entries and would gladly answer any questions regarding the lottery.

Thanks to all those who took the time to enter! Below is the list of winners and the rules used for the lottery.
