Here's the winning wristband number for Friday's sale of tickets at the Wrigley Field box office:

Winning wristband number for the @Cubs Friday, March 9 single game on-sale at 8am is 01429. Details at chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/ticketing/…

This is a much better way of announcing the winner, rather than people having to get up at 6 a.m. Friday and then race down to Wrigley by 8. On the other hand, with the number of people actually getting wristbands reported here as being fairly small, I'd expect the box office to open to anyone by noon on Friday, perhaps earlier.

There's more information on the first day of ticket sales here.
