And by the way, I want to mention that in about a month we're going to offer ATP shirts again, where you can buy them with acorns. So if you're wanting shirts, make sure you hold back at least 125 Acorn for shirt buying. Smiling

We've had winners in the past who only bought a single ticket. It's a long shot but is possible!
