I am pretty sure the donations surpassed what we all expected. IMHO this should end tonight.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Being that I cannot ask Dan to put this on the main site for free, nor can I justify paying the fee of the advertisment with Tzeddaka money; I don't think it will be going onto the main site.

Having said that, I don't feel a need to extend the drawing. Anyone that is a DDF visitor saw this thread, and made their choice - if it was to contribute, or vice versa.

The drawing will be tonight a 11:30 PM.

Please have all donations in by then, so they can be processed before time runs out.

Thank you all for you help, may Hashem bench you all with gezunt, parnosa, shefa, brocha, asher, viosher, vichol tuv!

A special mention to our very generous sponsors, Dan, HM and the Anonymous contributer who boosted the sales of tickets.

Will the raffle be rigged so that if you answered no to the poll it won't let you win? ;)

IMHO the poll is a little unfair as it puts pressure on the winner to give back the money he won fair and square.

It seems to me the the whole purpose of the poll is to make the winner feel dumb keeping his money. Is there any other reason to have the poll.

(Please don't get me wrong, it's a very noble thing to do,I just think having a poll is a bit unfair)

+1
IMHO the poll should be changed to "Will you give the Ma'aser?"

Interesting modification.
Could you add:
"Would you do it again?"  ;D
