John E Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Any word on who the winner was? I bought tickets, and although I know to a moral certainty that I did not win, I can't bring myself to pitch the tickets until I've confirmed that fact. I've poked around the onthewaterfront website and can't find squat.Thanks.
John E Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 They've announced the winning ticket: it's number 235 (not sure how many zeros are before that).The closest I got was 0000450. Damn.
stobro Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 The closest I got was 0012895! Was I even in the same raffle?-Brandon
