So no set number of tickets?
I don't think so, just a short deadline.

Will I get a HT for starting the thread? On a serious note, I'm definitely in.

I think it should be limited to a certain # of tickets so that people know what the odds are.

What's wrong with more money to charity?

Just sayin’ if it’s limited or not.  I think for $100 a ticket it’s a no brainer to sign up .

You either enter to win or to give money to the charity. If you want to give money to the charity then do it out right as they get the whole amount.

please make a limit

no limit of tickets being sold. will definitely decrease the amount of participants

When I participate in a Charity sponsored raffle, I am always a winner. If I won the prize, well that might even be obvious to you, if I didn't, then I won the ability to be part of whatever the charity does.

Honestly, I'll be surprised if this sells enough tickets to even happen. It's a pricey ticket and a much shorter deadline than most raffles.

$100 is standard for these types of raffles. $120 should not make a big difference.

this.  i think the extra $20 will trigger something in peoples brains not to want to get in on it
I don't plan on buying a ticket but I was thinking the same thing. There's something about whole numbers that give a sense of predictability and security. But maybe it's just me.

If time is of essence, we may be better off with a 1-360 type of raffle.

We can also get Mispacha or Ami or someone to bash the whole idea of trips to Antarctica, they  can then add that it's not enough that some rich gashmiusdik blogers are going but that even regular Kollel yungelit are being tempted due to a raffle on DansDeals giving away a free trip. That will sell out all the tickets for sure!
