Answer for a Question by Angel--
Angel--What are your odds of winning??

The confirmation packets were sent out by Fed Express. Some industrious person took their tracking number and went into the FEDX system to see how many were sent from D.L. Blair in Blair, NE. Seems there was about 7,000 teams (he had rounded off figures and said he could be off by a hundred or so since he had to count off lists) mailed FEDX with around 3,300 showing as 1/2 to 1 lb weight and around 3,700 showing less than 1/2 lb weight. Logic would say the 1 lb ones were the eligible confirmations that weighed more because of more stuff inside, while the less than 1/2 lb ones were simply a denial/disqualified letter. Based on this we have about 1 in 3,300 odds at a million$$$. (Last contest there was said to be a little over 2,000 teams playing)
These are actually really good odds when you consider the lottery, etc.

mama
You are back. I was hurt you left. You better have a good excuse for leaving us. Uh, don't read back or you might see my lecture. I am going back to sleep now since I stayed up all night and only probably got 5 hours today. Damn phone oops I swore.
Bye everyone
I would go through all the names, don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.

mama, the seahawks are winning 13-0 2 minutes left. I think we have a winner. I am not watching it, the hubby is.

Well bye for now. Take care everyone.
