I feel like anyone (doug or another admin ) can press the lotto button tomorrow ...

[Conroy]

Yeah, if the draft starts saturday at 8am I doubt I'll be around to make my pick. Would be much better to have it start on a Friday (or sooner)

[WigNosy]

Draft will be Friday. Lotto show coming shortly.
