Hah! That 50/50 money (and then some) has already been completely re-distributed to the various dealers in the convention showroom!

Isn't that the foundation of a good economy?

I'm not going to lie, it is certainly fun to win something once in a while - and it really makes the decisions to buy some of those chips and other items that I really want, but really don't need, a whole lot easier!

If someone told me before the raffle that I would be the owner of a yellow plastic shoehorn with the Mint logo on it, I would have probably said they were crazy, but with the 50/50 raffle money burning a hole in my pocket, I thought it would be a nice addition to my Mint logo'd stuff.
