January Avalanche

I'm finally catching up with the avalanche of lotto blocks which arrived in January.

For a swap hostess used to swapping out hundreds of blocks, it may not seem that impressive, but January's 246 blocks were:

• More than 3 times the previous high of 80 blocks in a single month.
• 6 times the average number of blocks received monthly (41) during the last round of the lotto
• More than 1/3 the total number of 10" lotto blocks we made from August 2005 through November 2006.
