Hey, it is all for the good of the 2014 show plus Rick may not want all the raffle fish...or maybe he does...:p

zimmjeff

11-20-2012, 06:34 PM

Gee what are you going to do take all the fish from us? again. lol. Jeff

Larry Bugg

11-20-2012, 07:14 PM

LOL, I know a lot of this is joking and all in good fun but as Pat pointed out it is for a great cause. If Rick decided to buy all 300 tickets I would be ecstatic!! That would just mean he financed about 10% of the NADA 2014 Show. Now lets look at it this way. Say you plan on buying 5 tickets. Your odds of winning are 5 out of 300, right? Well lets say you buy those 5 tickets and Rick buys the remaining 295. What are your odds of winning now. Well Surprise, your odds didn't change at all. The only way your odds can change is if you decide to buy more tickets.............................

11-20-2012, 07:35 PM

Well you guys all know Ill always push money to NADA, but that said I dont think you'll start seeing large investments into the raffles until we start doing big boys from me, but hey, its a raffle I cant resist at least a few tickets lol. I think its great that we are starting this early though, fantastic and will certainly allow the opportunity to bring in a great deal more before NADA 2014, which hopefully will make it the best one to date!!!

Teshi

11-20-2012, 07:38 PM

I am in support, I'll be getting my tickets later when I'm at work tonight... I'll probably be in the lower odds of winning ratio though. Because when I win I'll need to get a new tank set up asap!

DiscusDrew

11-20-2012, 07:43 PM

Meh just pack them in, if I happen to get a random win Ill probably just stick them in with the contest fish, which I think might dwarf them now lol.

nc0gnet0

11-20-2012, 10:53 PM

Just for the record I was of course joking, and Larry is right on the odds. The only time that a large purchase by me changes the odds for anyone is if the raffle were to close without selling out. Hopefully nobody is saying they would like that to happen even though it wold improve thier odds.

Thier is one pertinent question that Jim needs to answer. Could a person that purchases three or more tickets win more than one group, or will all the tickets he/she purchases be pulled after winning once?

Rick

Thanks to everyone that has purchased tickets! NADA truly appreciates your support for our 2014 Show!!!! As a non-profit organization we depend on the generous contributions from the great folks in the community.

Tickets are selling fast, but there are still plenty left before Rick buys it out (LOL). $5 gives you the opportunity to win 6 of the wonderful fish in the pictures below:

Why are Canadian cousins excluded from this raffle? If it's a shipping issue, those of us living close to the border can have it shipped to a US address.

If you have a US shipping address you should be good. It is due to the shipping.

First I want to congratulate all the winners.

The reason we had Jim in Texas pick the winners instead of me in Florida is so we would have no recounts. Plus the way Florida counts things, we would still be waiting to see who won.

The way Florida counts the fish would be large enough to spawn by then.

Grats to all the winners.
