Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums First Anniversary Draw

Well folks, it's been a year already, and the FTBCF has been a great success. We've had hundreds of new members, shared countless bits of priceless (and admittedly, sometimes useless :hick:, but hey, that's what the internet is for) information, and even created several online friendships. Yes, I would call that a success by any stretch.
 
Unfortunately, with anniversaries come  bills:mad:. Our domain and hosting service is due for another year's worth of  funding:deal:. Last year this was made possible through the donations of many members,  and it was greatly appreciated:bowdown:, but this time I'd like to give something in return for the shmoozing for dough, so I've decided to have a raffle. It goes like this:
 

$10 gets you one ticket:

$20 gets you two:

$25 gets you three:

 

 
Ticket sales have closed
 
The prize is your choice of a Thundercat TCSF-03 Deluxe sequential turn signal system kit with BONUS modified HD12 flasher for slower sequencing effect (ONLY available in this raffle, this flasher is not available for sale!), a pair of Thundercat TCMRLED white LED fog lights*, or a Thundercat TCWWF-4 four-way wigwag system. Already have a sequencer? Our completely redesigned TCSF-03 was released on October 1st, 2005, so you may want the newer model, or you may want one of the other prizes. The value of the prize ranges from $79-$100. The sequencer kit will work on 85-88 Cougars and 87-88 T-Birds.

 
But here's the  clincher: For every $100 worth of tickets sold, one prize will become available. This means if $200 worth of tickets are sold, two prizes will be drawn. If $300 worth are sold, three prizes will be drawn. See the legal mumbo jumbo below for details. But HURRY! The deadline for buying tickets is 11:59PM  EST, Monday, October 31st, 2005. The draw will take place on Tuesday morning  after I wake up.
 
The legal Mumbo-Jumbo:
[LIST=1]
  •  
    This raffle is open to all members    of the Fox T-Bird/Cougar message forums (www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com) from    any country. 
  •  
    In the event that you win a prize it shall be considered that you bought the item for your donation amount. This isn't a real honest to goodness lottery, after all. 
  •  
    The draw will take place like this: On Tuesday, November 1st, 2005, I personally will print out the names of each ticket holder and then cut the names out to form a bunch of tickets. I will then put these tickets in a hat, drum, bottle, or other container and shake vigorously. I'll then draw out one name for each prize offered (if there are four prizes I'll draw four names, for instance). Once I have drawn the names I will email the winners to ask them which prize they choose, SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS!!! Winners will also be posted in this thread, so if you see your name here and I didn't contact you, FIX YOUR EMAIL. Prizes unclaimed after one week will be drawn for again and given to a new winner. The entire drawing process will be monitored by my cat Stewie, who is completely neutral (having been neutred) to ensure that I am completely impartial. 
  •  
    Prizes must be accepted as    offered. No substitutions, no cash value.   *Should the winner chose the TCMRLED fog lights they will be furnished in white and will not contain internal flashers.. They will function as fog lights only. 
  •  
    Odds of winning for each ticket shall be no greater than 1 in 10 and no less than 1 in 19. The number of prizes drawn will be determined by the following:     
    • $1-$199 worth of tickets sold: 1 draw
    • $200-$299 worth of tickets sold: 2 draws
    • $300-$399 worth of tickets sold: 3 draws
    • $400-$499 worth of tickets sold: 4 draws
    • And so on. The number of tickets sold and draws  currently eligible will be posted in this thread about this raffle.
  • Each draw winner will have their choice of the prizes noted above
  • All prizes will be delivered via Canada Post/USPS expedited parcel service, or if that is not available to your country, airmail.
That's it! Simple as that! Buy your tickets, and  you could win great stuff!

Glad this came up when it did and not a month earlier. (as if it had any choice) :p Now I can actually partite in it, after next week's paycheck. (18th) Worst that happens is I put it off until the paycheck after that, on the 25th.

Isn't BidPay available up there? PayPal is evil. :p

I dunno if PayPal can be used for raffles or not, but this is more of a suckhole for donations with an incentive. PayPal provided the code for those buttons to work, so it can't be too much against it.

I do have a BidPay account, so I can do it that way as well. I don't know how to put BidPay buttons in, though, so you'll have to PM me to make arrangements

Yep, just so long as your real name is there, or if you put a note with the payment saying who it's from

So if I read this right, I buy 12 tickets and get a prize?  For every $100 there's a prize involved...

Nope. you read it wrong.. for every $100 worth of tickets sold overall (not just from one person), one prize becomes available, meaning he draws a second time for a second prize giving you another chance to win a prize.

But since the prize costs $100 anyway if you're gonna pay $100 for the 12 tickets, you might as well just buy the product from him instead of hoping to win it in a draw and give better odds to the others who didn't get 12 tickets ;)
