Some years ago the California lottery got up to some
huge amount, so Dr. Richard Pitts (a filePro user and
operator of emergency rooms in California) led a combo
of filePro folks consisting of me and I forget who else
(but I'm sure, several now on this list) who each put
up $xxx (I also forget the exact amount) to share in the
possibility of a pretty good ROI.

I also don't remember the total number of tickets the
combine was able to buy, but do recall that Dr. Pitts
Xeroxed all of the tickets, sending us each copies.

Unfortunately, the winning number wasn't among them ;-(
