was just referring to being notified, so that not everyone who once posted on DDF is bothered.  ;)

Also some people dont want 30 emails coming to their inbox

I think we will have enough people for a raffle esp if the mods can send this out to every on DDF that has 50+ posts or something?
Maybe we can aim for $100 or $125 a ticket and if more people sign up we can lower the price accordingly.
Maybe someone here is willing to organize it for the cost of a free raffle ticket?
If we get 75+ to agree then can start collecting $$ via QP or something (can always refund if doesn't work out) for one ticket. If we get enough ppl it will become 2 tickets, if enough ppl we can lower the actual price etc.



Conditions:
 1) Winner must continuously post updates on the trip and do a TR with pics.
2) if you win 2 tickets and only need 1 you can only sell it for (??$5000??) and first offer must be to someone that participated in the raffle etc.
3)????

Anybody willing to Volunteer to organize it?? no risk and worst case you just have to refund the money? (or don't accept the money and just "reject" it)

Are you getting any Halachic clearance for this?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Should tickets cost $100 and come with a $2K prize or cost $120 and come with a $5K prize on top of 2 berths in a twin cabin?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

You are asking for trouble.  :)
Just pick one. Either option works.

To expand on this a bit: the raffle ARV cannot be more than 300x the ticket price. Ideal setup is 2x Twin berths + $5k cash, ticket at $100. This would be an ARV of $33k, or 330x the ticket price, and so cannot work.

Possible options:

A. Raffle off 2x Twin + $2k; charge $100. ARV $29.9k, or 299x.
B. Raffle off 2x Twin + $5k; charge $110. ARV $32.9k, or 299x.
C. As above, but charge $118/120. More significant number in Judaism, and can sell ~10% fewer tickets to make it worthwhile.

Vote!

this.  i think the extra $20 will trigger something in peoples brains not to want to get in on it
