we tried doing a lottery type thing a few years ago and it didn't go quite so well,
user StarionX had a TII that ended up selling for next to nothing (ran and drove even from my understanding!) and he tried to raffle it off, the idea got crushed by the mods.

I'm always doing stupid things that seem to cost me money - it's rare however that $1 would cover it!
Wow, forgot about that! Here are the threads for that....

Are you sure about that? ...Mods are quick to blame...I was actually In favour of the raffle of George's TII but someone out west got excited and actually discouraged this. I quickly followed and that was the end of It.
Remember?

Well according to the bottem of the main page, it says we have 89,717 members in total here on the forum....
So even if we had half of them pitch in $1......that'd be one hell of a lottery LOL.

I have a better idea for a bigger pot. We start the raffle at 1 dollar, then everyone who put in the dollar adds another dollar every week. and they must keep doing so untill dec25 to stay in the final raffle. this way, pot will be much bigger, and hell, none of us is going to notice a dollar gone a week from our paypal accounts. and if anyone wanted to join later, they are welcome to do so, they just have to put in the amount already put in by members when the raffle started.
Why would mods not approve of a raffle?
