twitterReid to distribute tickets at random
Thu, Jan 8, 2009 (4:15 p.m.)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will be distributing inauguration tickets to at least 500 Nevadans chosen by drawing numbers from a cowboy hat.
Reid, a Mormon, doesn't gamble himself, but he's dubbed the drawing "Lucky 7" in a hat-tip to his home-state industry.
Most Senate offices got only 300-400 inauguration tickets apiece to hand out, but Reid got considerably more. His office declined to specify how many, but he has enough to pick 500 numbers from a hat, match them with names of some of the thousands of Nevadans who requested inauguration tickets, and hand out one or two tickets to each person selected.
Reid plans to draw the first seven numbers himself in his Senate office Friday morning.
