Ah that makes sense now. The other forum is requiring registration now to read topics. I'll try to post of photo directly.
I hunted G3 in 1999 when there were no preference points. I started accumulating the same time everyone else did so I had 5 when I got drawn. I'd guess that I was still pretty lucky. It was probably a 1:2000 chance with 5 preference points. Time to start building them up again!
