Hmm. I bought a ticket. I'll probably regret it (by not winning) but I thought, what the bloddy hell. Too bad the money does not benefit here though.

I'll probably buy a ticket too - there are worse things I could blow $5 on.

Any thought (or need??) for similar type raffles at dbstalk?

Maybe at some time in the future, but for now thanks to the generous support of our Gold Members, we're managing to pay the bills. :)

I love raffles and lottery tickets. I think it's the whole concept of the 'big win' even though the odds on both usually are so great that you can be almost assured that you will never win. I like to tell my wife that if i buy some lottery tickets or a raffle ticket that has a big prize attached to it then what i'm really doing is I get to play the 'what would I do if I won' game. That's the game where I get to spend a few days or weeks thinking about what I would do if I had that money/prize. I look at it sort of like reading a superman comic, or watching lifestyles of the rich and famous.... Not realistic, but sort of a fun escapism. The benefit of the lottery is you know you have that one in however many million chance.

Dan at the other site is a good guy and I urge you all to buy a ticket since your odds are way better than the Powerball or a stinking scratch ticket. :grin:

Actually, I did win $100k ($67,998 after taxes) on the Powerball 15 months ago...

I found at 11:00 am when I checked the tickets. My wife had me back at work by 2 pm after I deposited the check in her account. (I had an install that afternoon...)
