 		I never got an email either (has anyone?). And how many numbers to you see? There should be 2 letters and then 14 numbers.

Never got an e-mail either, and my printed ticket only shows the first 10 numbers (after my initials).

I'm not sure this is actually a problem. Since we registered our name and e-mail addresses with them, I'd assume they also have our lottery number on file. So if and when a lottery is run, they know who's won and how to contact them.

I figure they have a vested interest in people participating, so won't make it too difficult to "win" any lottery. The printed ticket, to me, seems like more of an immersive element than a necessary item. And the fact that my name and e-mail are printed on it, along with my lottery number, makes me think that they're purposely linked.

Fascinating reading, for some of us Wink

Catherwood, I have always appreciated the valuable input you provide, but in this you seem to have even exceeded my normal expectations of you. Thank you so very much!

I just assumed that Google's meta repositories were out of sync and that one branch was simply caching an older HTML version of the page while another held the current Flash version.

 		Got my number. This is my first ARG since my computer died midway through Phase 13 when I was the administrator, so I'm pumped.

 		trailer talk
So i watched the trailer when i saw Quantum of Solace. it is interesting, but lets wait a second to think about it. This is taking place somewhere in the Himalayas, Nepal, Tibet or Buthan.

That does not look like a wave, it looks like a complete surge of water. How much water do you need to go over the tallest mountains in the world? A lot of it, we are talking about displacing the entire Indian ocean. By this point (unless the water is somehow coming from Central asia for weird reasons) all of India has been wiped out, literally erased. Not to mention the effects in the surrounding areas.

meteor strike?

 		The reason (I think) the water is coming over the mountain is because of the polar shift that Albert Einstein predicted to happen in the year 2012. I think that is what the movie is going to center around. It has to do with the planets aligning in a particular way, blah, blah, blah...

I don't totally understand but if you google it I am sure you will find people who do.

Good times.

 		Found a lot of sites that speculate on the end of the world and relate it to the year 2012, and they are calling the waves over the mountains something to do with solar flares.

You live to play in the next lottery.

Maybe there's also the tie-in with the Mayan calender ending at this year, or at least there will be a few hints there, if there's anything maybe.
