<nettime> nettime wins the lottery!?

["nettime's lottery commissioner" <nettime@bbs.thing.net>]

I just KNEW spending the last of my money on that handful of scratch-lotto
tickets would pay off!  Looks like nettime will have enough money to pay The
Thing a big fat donation to help fight Dow Jones and the rest of corporate
America, and what's more, Bill Gates and the Sultan Of Brunei will be
sponsoring it! We're RICH I tells ya!  Perhaps Rhizome can also investigate
this sudden and unexpected funding model. ;) SM
