How was that gamble? @EJB
Poor gambles can pay off.
Poor gamble? When have you had better odds to payoff in a raffle than this? It was almost 50/50 (odds/payoff).
I'm purely talking about it as a gamble, not as a charity raffle. That definitely factors in - there is a benefit to donating money for a good cause. But as a gamble, you'd have better odds in Vegas playing video poker or wheel of fortune. Let alone blackjack or roulette. Especially if you value the prize at less than MSRP.
That's why I'm philosophically opposed to lotteries, raffles, or any game of chance with negative expected value.
