Ginacue Raffle????

I'd be in on this gorgeous Gina.

BTW - the way the original raffles ran (like the one I just completed on the JMW cue) was to sell 100 tickets at a set price (numbers 00 through 99). Then use the last two numbers of some state's Pick 3 (or whatever it is called in that state) to determine the winning number.

You have to use the actual order of drawing. So, if the numbers 6, 0 and 9 were drawn (in that order), whoever chose number 09 wins.

That would allow you to sell 100 numbers at $80, keeping the cost within the threshold that most people seem comfortable with.

Just some thoughts......
 
Personaly I would like the tickets to be at the $200 mark. I would rather have a one in fourty chance at winning that Gina rather than a one in 80. Even if I bought two and was in for the $200 I would only have a 2 in 80 chance at winning. Maybe you could run the auction first at $200 and if it does not fill up in say a week cancel and try it a $100. Im in either way for that monster Gina.

There would be nothing to prohibit you from buying multiple chances (lower priced tickets) to increase your odds - if it is set up that way. Rather than one ticket at $200, you could buy four (4) at $50.00.
 
i personally like the idea of just 1 powerball draw to decide winner.

By taking the first two numbers of the draw to decide the winner.

if numbers drawn are 01, 23, 42, 33, 14 winner would be #12

if numbers drawn are 29, 40, 07, 08, 23 then winner would be #94

this method would allow you to have 100 tickets at $80 each totaling $8000

and still using 1 powerball draw and no coin toss.

just an idea.


p.s. i'll take #37
 
Thanks to all for the input. This thread was revived by the "move" of the raffles to this forum. The raffle will not happen, but thank you to all.
