I'm not a gambling man. I don't play football cards or bet when I go to Vegas or play the lottery or enter into those on-line contests to win a new car or $1 million. However, what I have done the past couple years is enter into the Red Sox random ticket drawings.
Those who are unfamiliar with this system allow me to explain. Basically, because certain seats have a higher demand than others (Yankee games, Monster seats, postseason tickets), the Sox seek to limit the traffic on their server and allow people a real chance to get tickets. So, to attain this goal the Sox hold a drawing. You enter you name and email address and then if you win that lottery you have the right to try an log in and get tickets to the game.
I have never won a lottery of any kind that I remember (beyond maybe $5 off a scratch ticket I got for Christmas) so imagine my shock and surprise to win three times this year. I won the lottery to buy the Yankees playoff ticket early in the season, I won the lottery to buy ALDS tickets, and today I bought ALCS tickets (should the Sox make it past the Angels). Not too shabby. Now if I can just win the lottery to attend the Winter Classic between the Bruins and Flyers - I might actually start playing the numbers!
