Update on the $50 Prize o' Painful ethical problems

My editor ruled that since it was a drawing that was determined by luck alone, I can do whatever I want with the prize.

I already spent them, for all practical purposes... That is to say, I've already picked where they're going, and the irony is that I'm just as grateful to the recipient as they are to me.

They get $50, and I get a clean conscience. Well, clean for a journalist.
