solar powerball
Determination for holding a lottery: For each Group/category, 14 calendar days after Block 1 opens, the number of project applications received will be assessed to determine if the aggregate MW nameplate capacity of those projects is greater than 200% of the Block 1 capacity for that Group/category.
So how will they select the lottery winners?
That's all pretty sophisticated and undoubtedly efficient way of going about this. However, I actually wouldn't have been put off if the IPA went old school in this instance. The machines to the left are designed and proven using statistical analysis to produce random combinations of numbers. Plus the balls are always visible during the mixing and drawing process -- they never disappear inside tubes or chambers. This helps prevent tampering; and since the drawings are televised live, it gives the viewer confidence that the drawing is not being fixed. Just borrow a couple of power ball machines and live stream the results, that would have been exciting and they probably could have generated some advertising revenue while they were at it.

STS-82 was the 22nd flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery and the 82nd mission of the Space Shuttle program. It was NASA's second mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope, during which Discovery's crew repaired and upgraded the telescope's scientific instruments, increasing its research capabilities and achieved the highest altitude ever attained by a STS Orbiter. Discovery launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 11 February 1997, returning to Earth on 21 February 1997 at Kennedy Space Center.
