Jimmy,

 Exactly.

 That happened at a square dance (another hobby of mine) several years
ago. They do a "split the pot" drawing, where 1/3 goes to the club to
pay the hall rent, 1/3 goes to the caller, and 1/3 goes to the winning
ticket holder.

 I bought only one ticket, and they said "we haven't sold the winner
yet". Grumbling, I thought "Well, I got screwed on that one". When the
time came for the drawing, this little boy drew a ticket, and the custom
was for the winner to give them a dollar. They drew my ticket!! :)

 You should've heard the cries of "RIGGED!!" (hi hi).

Daryl
