Hello to our awesome customers! It's finally that time again!

First, we want to express our appreciation for all our customers, regardless of where you're from. We've heard your requests to keep our annual lottery more local, either to Franklin County alone or to include just the neighboring counties. We understand these sentiments, but choosing which counties to exclude is not straightforward. With customers coming from places like Cumberland, Wilson, and beyond, how do we draw the line?

With the aim to make the lottery more local-focused while still being fair, here's what we've decided:

𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧-𝐔𝐩 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝: We've shortened the sign-up window compared to last year.
𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞: We're giving far less notice before sign-ups begin.
𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬: Sign-ups will only be accepted during very specific hours each day. Please note, there will be no exceptions; even our charming staff won't bend the rules this time! The times are set in stone.
𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐮𝐩 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬: If luck smiles upon you, there will be designated hours for purchasing and picking up your items.
