Cubs Winning Ticket Wristband Number

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

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.
