We also pre-sell the carwash tickets, so we have the money even if the buyer does not show up.
To use a phrase , you "beg, borrow and steal" (not literally) to get what you need. This year, we unexpectedly won NJ, students must pay around $400 if they want to come to Atlanta, so that's another way.
