The only thing is, it seems he must be using THE FORCE on the ticket puller to have his ticket pulled when the prize he WANTS is next up!

This man is is telling it like it is. He has won quite a few times but he has bought a boatload of tickets to support the events. You know we appreciate all that you do.

I'm usually in the can't win a thing bucket, no matter how many tickets I but. But at the 3d bash in Kennett, Missouri this last weekend I won a Redwing 30cc Extra!

Maybe my luck is changing!

I guess I've always been lucky because I seem to win quite a bit, but I always buy several tickets and figure it helps the sponsoring club whether I win or lose. Just this past weekend I won 2 30cc airframes and 2 grab bags full of gift certificates at the same event. It's just playing the odds. The more tickets you have in there, the better your chances of winning. A $200 investment got me $900 worth of stuff this weekend. The event I went to before that, I bought $200 and only won about $150 worth of stuff so you never know.

I think that's the bottom line. Geno does buy more tickets than anyone I have ever seen. When he wins here deserved it. BTW I always win something good at your event and this year was the best. :kiwi-fruit:
 
I have a method and something I do every time. It works for me really well. Just the weekend if the Magnolia event I won a gun, da 60, vyper bip, multiplex stunt master, plane wrapper, 2 SmartFly gift cards, a shirt, and a few other smaller things and a few more gift cards. I actually have done this same thing each time I attend a event that has a nice raffle. At a DU banquet earlier this year I won 3 guns there.

The people that always win usually buy a boat load of tickets just prior to the drawing. Plain and simple, more tickets, means more chances of winning. But it seems like guys like Lyman who always win get their tickets in last so they are higher up in the box. but those tumbler things tend to take some of that strategy out of the equation.
