With only 500 sequence numbers availible I think one per customer is the fairest way to make sure everyone has an equal shot at getting one. Since there is really only one day a year they are even availible, you could say only one per person per day and it wouldn't cange anything if the 500 go the first day they are availible. I don't think it's about giving up your rights. The State could go with supply and demand and auction them off or make them prohibitively expensive and then the rich and famous would be happy. The best answer is to make more numbers availible...say 750-1000 per year. Just picked those at random, I don't know how many people who wanted numbers didn't get them. Does anybody know? That would be interesting.
