3. Got one of those golden tickets when he appeared near us a few years back - but

We were quite active in the 2008 election (I think it was 2010). When I went to get the tickets they asked for my name. When I told them my name the young lady's face kind of went blank. She turned around and whispered to a very solemn faced colleague who then turned around and left. The young lady asked me to stand off a ways and she took the next person in line.

About 5 minutes later two strapping solemn men in dark suits came out and asked me to come with them. OK, I am not scared at this point by my antenna are working overtime.

I was taken to a back room where I was asked how many tickets I needed. Then I was given two seats in the 'you just hit the jackpot' section. Certainly better than what I was fearing would happen.

Just in case this should happen to you - and it should.
