Okie Dokie,
70 tickets out -- I have 3
3/70 = 0.042
Ergo and to wit - the probability of anyone with three tickets winning is 4.2%.
Good luck to all, yee ha

i was picking on you about the % character which means further division by 100 of whatever number precedes it - i've got nothing else to do I guess 
well, we'll have a winner soon, actually we already have - srp -> 70x5=350USD (
minus a few in fees, of course) |

The Big Winner !
Okay guys, we have a winner !!
Ticket #10, Hawkeye5, John is the winner!
A graphpad.com random number generator was used for the drawing randomly selection from tickets 1 through 71.
John, please get in touch with me as to your shipping address and what pastes you desire on the 2 sides of the 4 sided paddle strop.
Lynn, I'll have a Paypal payment headed your way for SRP.
Thanks again everyone for your support of SRP.
Tony

Well done 'Sally' Congratulations. I will NOT however be slapping your fanny as I am british and if you do have a fanny your name would not be John and you wouldn't be needing any prizes from a shaving forum.
So seeing as you're not needing them how about giving them to someone with a name which offers no gender confusion?
From, Sandy

That long white box arrived today .
All I can say is WOW!!!!
I'm set for life. (some of you may want to court my widow, may not be long now, and while born American, she is a Nordic beauty)
Thanks to Tony and SRP for the great promotion and opportunity.
I'm in awe, even if I will be hereafter know as 'Sally'  .

Dear Sally,
I believe you are right that it "may not be long now", esp if she reads this board 
but you did use 'Nordic beauty' so you are probably safe
Congrats again on the win and enjoy them for many many years |

John,
That raffle ended long before you joined but we do giveaways a few times a year.
The package raffled was worth around $200-250 as I used different materials than I normally would.
I donated the set and all the funds went right back to SRP except that Lynn then used part of it to buy two Starter Strops from me at retail which he donated to two more guys here as a thank you.
Tony
