I can see how this will CHAP some peoples a$#@ as it like a GM dealer giving away a car and the owner of the GM dealer wins it, people will always have the perception of the drawing as being rigged. Future decisions by some may be based on the outcome of the drawing which could affect the bottom line in the future and that is why you don't see the owners or employees being allow to join there own drawings.
Most on here who did not attend the drawing or buy tickets will say it is fair but the majority of those who did attend may not feel the same way. Perception is powerful....
