and the numbers are... (drumroll please!)

Each year they draw numbers for the "New Year's postcard" lottery. 6-digits can be seen at the bottom of all official postcards. I think the lottery was started in a bid to encourage more folks to send out annual New Year's cards due to flagging sales. Since we entered the digital, e-age, less and less people send actual cards and some just mail out an e-greeting via cellular phone.

The winning numbers for the new year's postcards were announced yesterday.
