Me. Think I have 4 since it is my 3rd try.
I'm surprised there were that many registrants. I was thinking not more than 2000.
I have one ticket, sir.
1 ticket for me.

I projected the numbers for 2016. It gets even worse. You'd think that the 1- and 2-ticket holders would do better, because more of the high-ticket holders will get in this year, reducing the overall ticket count next year, but nope, it doesn't work that way. Pretty grim.
Looks like I better start drinking.
I'm afraid you can expect to have to count to 100 quite a few more times.
So far this puts us at about a 45% of ANYONE from RA getting in. Wow.
Last year we had so many, I was sure I'd have lots of RA friends for company. Nope, not a one.
... and srlopez is in, sponsored. BOOM!

And all this time I thought you couldn't count past 50.

I counted to 50 for a few years and it never got me into Western. Then I lost my tickets. Meanwhile, I tried to count to 100 twice and whiffed.
Until this year. It's been a very good year. (and that's factoring in the MRSA, the burglary, and the locusts)
Feeling the growl again
FFS. I'm glad at least this went your way.
