Winner will be determined via high-speed camera/photo. With a winner determined, one ticket will be pulled from the winners bucket.. the owner of that corresponding ticket gets 1/2 the pot, the other 1/2 will go to the TNT trailer fund. 
Very low with dense smoke...should not have done that upwind of the flight line. Yep, mistakes were made.
