I see a $1.01 authorization on my bank account, but no email or charge yet... Has anyone else who got an authorization earlier ended up getting confirmation that they won tickets?

Yes, the $1.01 authorization is usually a good sign. It's a test to see that the credit card works and is typically refunded in 3-5 days.

That's the test charge, to make sure that the card's real or whatever. the larger charge should come shortly. I don't know where the email comes...keithsuperk wrote:I see a $1.01 authorization on my bank account, but no email or charge yet...

Now at 8 hours worth of refreshing my email page.
Hopefully I'll get that email soon.

What other people think about you is none of your business.
Re: Official "Awarded Tickets" Thread
Oo. Now I want a cocktail onion. Just by itself.You could have a gimlet and switch to cocktail onions.
I think that might be perverted.

This could go on for some time, Fred. Through tomorrow is expected. You will get an email one way or the other.Playa Fred wrote:How long is this going on today? Still no ticket's for me ...

Maybe they're just planning it that way so that there won't be some-odd thousands of spam messages littering the forum after the week is over.

Re: Official "Awarded Tickets" Thread
Do any of the mods know if the lottery will continue drawing and sending confirmations continuously all night and inot tomorrow if need be? I am just wondering if I should check my email when I get up to pee in the middle of the night - if I can sleep at all!! Also does anyone know if there would be an email notifying if there was a snafu with your credit card? I know there will be one if you are simply not drawn......any info would be appreciated! This is some seriously long drawn out anxiety!!! Congrats to all who have won - still hoping and checking hoping and checking here in the Pacific Northwest!

Still no e-mail for me. Even made sure to take a long smoke and chat with a neighbor to stay away from the apartment, the phone, and the computer.

Re: Official "Awarded Tickets" Thread
What does it mean if I have a pending charge on my credit card from Burning Man for only $1.01? Is that a good thing or a bad thing. So anxious!!!
Re: Official "Awarded Tickets" Thread
I would just "take to my bed" like a Victorian and play the invalid for a week. No, 12 days. My convalescence would involve imaginary travel time and early entry (to my bed).BBadger wrote:

It's a good thing. It's a pre-authorization charge to make sure the card works; should be refunded in 3-5 days.mharri01 wrote:What does it mean if I have a pending charge on my credit card from Burning Man for only $1.01? Is that a good thing or a bad thing. So anxious!!!
