Hi Don!

So - explain to me how this works then - people who have not brought tickets get paid out money? That's not really good business is it? Why would anyone buy a ticket, if the money is just randomly given away? No, I think your business plan is all wrong - if you would like advise on how to actually make money, please let me know - I work on a flat fee basis, and I'm sure we could come to some sort of agreement!
