No you don't, Bobby. You're such an unctuous liar.

The winning number to the lottery is........8818. The lottery winner is: olderbutwiser, who with 10,000 numbers to choose from, came within 40 digits with his pick of 8858. Also within 100 digits were Great Big Stees, D4V, and ontheclock. ~Tony~ has a separate number which I will let him announce when he is ready. Thanks to all who played, o.b.w., hope you like the book, and good luck to ~Tony~ in his career writing chess books!
