Final total was about $107,000 of tickets sold/1,139 entries.

Positively astounding!
Enough cream in there for another drawing with Chabad still keeping most.

14K in sales.
It's a good start, but we're a long way away from this becoming a reality.
Time for people here to put their money where their mouth is.

Long way to this.

My guess is there will be more then enough tickets sold.
If and when that is the case, should a 2nd raffle be started?

I was right.  I wish there was a deal that once they hit 45-50k, it would've been round 2.
They would've still made 35-40k, and another fomo would've won.

The raffle isn’t for the fomos. It’s for chabad, leeching on the fomos fomo to fund it.

Lol, now that the roll of tickets have been purchases, we need to use the rest, otherwise they'll all go to waste
What would the criteria be for another raffle? Same as this one?

I've seen @EJB's inrernal actuarial central estimate for expected value of each ticket. The astounding number of tickets sold cut those odds immensely. Hence, it's only proper to draw another winner from the current pool to deliver the odds folks expected.

No extra work for you Dan. Just pick another ticket.

As long as those who already purchased get another chance.
Should've had 2 chances
