First, my thanks to Sarapis for holding this lottery. Let us hope for more lotteries and more winners in the near future.

Second, congratulations to you, Vexlore and Jack, for winning the other prizes. My consolations to the others who have invested a lot but won no prize.

Third, I am quite amused by the numerous requests to get a loan or buy some credits from me. Many of you, I have hardly spoken with until now. I feel obliged to make this post about my intention with the prizes. Before I get to decide finally what I truly want to do with them, I am not going to do anything about them. I can only say that I plan to put the money to very good use.

Fourth, the retreat in the mountains has proven to be most renewing and enlightening. What's more, on my return from the journey, I find myself a big pot of gold. Alas, gold is not as important as some other things in life to me. It can only serve as a tool to reach my goals.

Mistral, for the green mountains, the blue skies
