BIRTH LOTTO
Birth Lotto is a game in which a student’s birthday is selected at random to determine each issue’s prize-winner. All student birthdays (month and day) for February/March were obtained to create a list, with each student in the list assigned a number. The guest editor for the issue in question has randomly selected one of the numbers to determine the issue’s prize-winner. The prize for this issue is $5.00, to be collected (with suitable picture ID) from Dr. Ernst (Room 105A, Bogel Hall, 649-7900, ext. 315). And the winner is . . . Courtney Bryant! To collect this prize, the identified winner must contact Dr. Ernst, with accompanying Hilbert College ID or driver’s license by or on Friday, Mar. 7, 2014.
