Thats not luck. Thats BS there was no possoble way 1300 tickets of that size would even come close to fitting in that jug. As for the ticket showing ob'sz06 as the winner they all could have said ob'sz06 it was their raffle.

I just did a raffle which had a little over six hundred tickets just like those. It looked like their tickets were about right for 1300.
Why would they scam anyone for one set of headers? They arent nearly as expensive to make as they sell them for.
You guys need to loosen up the tinfoil.

should be simple enough
PING vettedoctors.com (205.145.140.20): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 205.145.140.20: icmp_seq=0 ttl=98 time=70.391 ms
the admins can see the logs for the day the 1-off user 'joined' and fired off their lottery ticket and compare it with vettedoctors
or similarly cross check against the logs from when vettedoctors joined the forum and see what range of network address they were using (a small shop would likely NOT be running a webserve in house so their domain name network address may or may not be in the same subnet as the ones their desktop pcs use to connect to the internet....
Indeed, most php forums also note down that each post also records the IP address used to create that post....

Hey, it was for free. All it cost was a post, but I'd recommend that in the future any give-away drawing on the Forum be witnessed by impartial Forum members and the entry slips be checked for authenticity. Plus, the winner be announcement on the Forum. This kind of a backroom deal ends up creating distrust.

I've been a member on this board for a while. I entered the giveaway. I didn't win. I believe it's honest. Congrat's to the winner.
That's all I have to say.
