    The lottery only started in 2008 I believe

    My number is 72XXX and I hit it in St Louis for front row center just between Ed and Mike (see avatar)[/quote]

    That is a great picture. I wish the one my wife took of Eddie sitting there would have come out. I was a few rows back of you. Would it be possible for you to email this shot? It would be greatly appreciated.

    0 for 6, unless the Ed shows were lottery, can't remember...if that's case we're 0 for 7.

    Yep, the Ed show's were lottery.
    The EV shows were 100% random though so it wasnt so much lottery but just completely random.

    Maybe next tour though - I'm going to win eventually, right? :)

    I dont believe anyone under a certain # (I'm thinking 100K) has any chance of winning. I sitll have yet to meet someone who has ever won with a number under 100K. I'm at 88xxx so I'm right at the border. Never been in the first two rows and I dont think I ever will.

    Out of curiousity, where would your "normal" seats be for a show? With a # of 72XXX I would imagine you'd be within first ten rows anyway, no?

    A normal seat for a 72xxx for a midwest show would be 4th row.

    I'm zero for whenever it started and I do anywhere from 5 to 15 shows a tour...oh well, I hope someday. The weird thing is that I know people who have won it 2 and even 4 times in one tour?!?! Something is rotten in Denmark with odds like that :?

    not trying to be a dick but i highly doubt you saw them 41 times out of the last 58 shows (when the lottery started), much less got 10C tickets to all of them.


    PS: I hit the lotto once; 9th row in DC '08. It was awesome.

    0 for 50 over 19 years, but I've got by once with a little help from my friends - thank you for sharing and some decent seats but never front. Someday my teenage son and I are going to be row 1 center - hopefully sooner than later (ain't getting any younger, but still out rock the kids half my age I see). Haven't sat once at a show in 19 yrs including once being 7 mos pregnant at the Merriweather Pavillion in '96.

    I dont believe I have ever hit the lottery since its inception.
    How do i know if i hit it or not ?
    With a member number at 205XXX, the most recent show ( MSG 2 )
    I was in section 6, row E, seats 1 & 2, right on the center aisle.

    Lets say that my seats werent lottery , theyre still pretty fucking good otherwise.

    Thanks 10 C and thanks Pearl Jam .
