September Membership prize winners announced

Question about drawings

Hi Ed,

Just wondering if past winners names are removed from being able to win. The way I have it figured is if they are since there are 7 winners a month for a total of 84 winners a year, it will only take me 238 years to win! If they are kept in I have absolutely no chance.

I’m told by the St Paul office that the selection of winners each month is done by using a random number generator, where the number spread covers the entire membership. Past winners are not excluded from future drawings. However, AAW founders, employees and Board members are excluded.
