Two Simply raffles and a giveaway for the Simply birthday bash..................yup, Kraig is the Sponsor Man.

Seriously we do VERY much appreaciate all that Kraig does but those of you that really know Kraig know that he doesn't do this to make himself shine and he doesn't do it to help his import business. Why does he do it you might ask. Simply because he loves the Discus Hobby and wants to be a part of making it grow and strengthen.

Larry, thanks for the kind words. I know I get out of hand sometimes but you are still here saying good things about me......Thanks. The truth is I do love the hobby and I want others to enjoy Watanabe's great fish. I am glad I have been blessed enough to share these guys to help raise money for the show. Thanks to all who buy tickets, and to the others who have and will donate to this good cause, it's you who have made the NADA show possible. Mark my words "it's going to be a Dusie".


Nice! Got my tickets.

Sponsor of the year is an understatement in my opinion. Kraig is not only one of the best guys I've ever met but also one of the most dedicated to the hobby as well as extremely generous. We may know him as a NADA BOD member, or a NADA/Show/Simply Sponsor, but for me it is a true honor to have Kraig as a friend.

Thank you again sir for your support and generosity!

If you bought tickets using paypal I should of sent you a receipt. When you use the credit card system you get an automatic receipt, when you use paypal I send the receipt and sometimes it's not for several hours because I'm not always at the computer. If you didn't get one let me know. Thanks, Jerry

Larry Bugg
05-15-2012, 05:05 PM
do you send out Ticket numbers like Al did? or just threw our name in a hat?

As I get the receipts in, I add the names to a excel spreadsheet. However many tickets the person buys their name is on the sheet that many times. I use the numbered rows of the excel sheet to assign a number to each purchase. First buyer is number 1. I then use a random number generator on the computer to pick the winning number. Notify by email and annouce the winner on this thread. Last raffle, I did a video of myself picking the winner. I may do the same thing tomorrow night or maybe a little different if I have time between now and then.

I don't sort them in any way. I enter them on the spread sheet as I receive them. So if someone buys on three different days they will be in three different groups on the spread sheet.

Thanks everyone. Walter that is very nice of you to offer. And Barb if it weren't for the fact that I just finished with a QT neither would I. Thank goodness I have those pond balls from Bill because I have nothing cycled. I cannot believe my luck lately. I won FDBW from Al and now these beauties from Kraig. Hell I am buying a lottery ticket today.

Did i just see something. Does the next raffle have to do something with Florida Discus? If it is all I can say is WOW. Im in.

Can I make a recommendation for next time, even though it doesnt technically change the odds of winning whatsoever, I feel like it might make sense for the ticket numbers to be randomly selected for each entry. As in, instead of me buying 10 tickets and thus getting numbers say 1-10, I would be given a different number for each entry. Like I said, in terms of mathmatics it changes nothing but it feels better to know you didnt just get whatever the next ticket number was at the time. More scrambling of the entries essentially. Just a thought :) and by NO means intended rude or anything of the sort so PLEASE dont take it that way.

Congrats to our winner of three beautiful fish!!

Sigh.... well I guess Ill have to buy one ticket at a time every few hours or so to mix my numbers up ;) haha, like I said, mathematically it changes nothing.

I'm trying to find the justification in the request since as you say and is correct - there is no change in the math. I keep coming back to "isn't this like going to 7-11 to buy scratch off lotto tix and telling the clerk you want every 5th one from the roll?"

Harry Marsh

+1


No difference, mathematically.

And a random number generator won't know the difference if you have #1 - #10
or #1, #11, #21, #31, #41, etc



Larry: thank you for your already substantial efforts in the hobby

I said that... its perception not mathematically justifiable.

Larry Bugg

Well think about it this way. If this was a raffle that we actually gave you a ticket what would you get if you purchased 10 tickets.....................the next 10 tickets off the roll and they would be numerically in order. I don't mind the request but as you pointed out it really doesn't change anything. I'm thinking I would REALLY like to buy tickets for the last two raffles and might let one of the other BOD do the selection of the winner. I've bought tickets for just about all the raffles but in fairness pulled my tickets from the pool.
