I already own it, or I would answer.

Better to leave it for someone who doesn't.

I was in a shop buying lunch yesterday and they had a bowl out for a drawing. You were supposed to put in your business card and the drawing would take place on the first of every month. There were only like two cards in there. I couldn't bring myself to put mine in, knowing I'd have a 1 in 3 chance of winning. I felt guilty.

haha, that's kind of cute*! They'd probably been cleaning out the bowl every half hour, so people looking at it thought they'd stand a good chance if they threw their card in.

*but yeah, kind of

too

Wait till after the drawing and put your card in the bowl the day after tomorrow. And see what happens! You can always remove your card later...

Hey Emily, why not answering and leave the prize for the second best if you win?

PS : The last day of the month, steal the cards of the other people and just leave yours. That will increase your winning probability

If you ask me, that's just another way of getting people's information, like phone number, email address, next thing you know, you're bombarded with phone surveys, junk emails, date offers, etc. No, thank you.

Yes, I'm a very paranoid person

Yes, but all the info on my business card is my work info, and I don't really care if I get spammed there.

Once I dropped my card in the bowl at a burrito shop and won burritos, chips, and salsa for 20.

That would require an awful lot of work for no prize. I'm lazy that way.

On the other hand, you feel too guilty to do almost no work for some prize.

So what kind of competition would you be prepared to enter?

I want to deserve the win. Which means both working hard AND getting the prize.

I think my mother dropped me when I was a baby.

And then she jumped on you. I should know, that's what my mother did, too, and I'm exactly like you in this regard.

VoodooFX · 09-02-2005, 09:14 AM

Your mothers scare the hell out of me.
