Thanks Shade!
From a normal turkey, I got a small picnicbasket containing:
- 10k gold
- an indian headdress, looks a bit like a bandana, with a feather? can't see well :p
- a pumpkin pie
- 100 thanksgiving fruits
and 3 deco items:
- a mini totempole
- a turkey on a spit
- a deco version of the turkey items we had to find for this event
Hope this helps for those who wanted to know the contents.

Thanks Aerudis
I've always felt that the rewards should be public knowledge as to avoid the chance of perceived favoritism or unbalanced reward.

Rabbi just wants to know so he can buy the rare items I gave out.:p When I first started staffing here I would announce the prizes but people always wanted to buy peoples stuff off them and I figured it'd be best to let the players handle that themselves. Like I already said, if they want to sell a prize they can, if not there is no need for it to be public information unless they want to let others know for bragging rights or letting curious people know.
As for winning the lottery, if you are referring to real life, someone who wins can choose to remain anonymous. Not to mention hundreds of tickets win a day, granted they are much smaller prizes, but you don't see a list of those winners either. At least thats how it is in this country. Not that there could be favoritism in a lottery system that has a fixed budget and is molested by federal taxes anyway.
Wasn't my intention to boast or anything.
It's not like I won Ryuuku's 1 million gold. ;-)
I'll watch out who I tell about rares in the future.
Anyway, happy holidays

Thats why I said "or letting curious people know" :p I didn't think you were boasting at all and there is no problem with anyone saying anything about what they won. It is up to each player to decide if they want to disclose information, not me.

Are you two even old enough to play the lottery? Which lottery are you even referring to? What state is this lottery in?
Ok first off, in most states, in the case of a prize under $250,000, the winner(s) can stay anonymous. Even in the case of a prize of 250k and over it is at the lottery's discretion to make the winner public. If they make the winner public they must do so through a press conference, though by goverment law they are not required to.
As for smaller prizes, anything under $500 can simply be mailed to a lottery office and they mail you a check. Anything under $250 can be redeemed at the store where you purchased the ticket if they have the funds on hand (I was once denied a $100 payment and had to send it in).
Also, he never mentioned grand prize and seeing as how the discussion was about multiple level of prizes that wouldn't have even made sense. Even if it did, I clearly stated that nobody found the grand prize so your argument goes down the tube there.
Either way this is a pointless argument. Staff have the final say on all events they hold. If it was a problem that I don't announce prizes another staff would have confronted me or Taran would have asked me to.
