Also, using the term "lottery" for the sale of the Rosco-Platy is inaccurate. Riv has in the past done a lottery drawing for highly-anticipated frames (I think they did this on the last Clem-L run), where they knew that they had way more demand than they could supply. They tried what they thought would be the fairest, most egalitarian method of selling that frame, which was a lottery method. You put your name in the hat, and if your name was drawn you had a week (I think....) to pay for your frame. If you didn't, they contacted the next name drawn. Seems like a pretty fair way to ensure everyone had an equal opportunity to score one.
And kudos to Joe for coining a new word- gonna have to try and work that in to my conversation sometime this week.
