I buy these raffle tickets every year to help support our local hunting clubs [they sell them to help pay their dues/taxes] and I buy them for a chance to win some cool prizes. For instance all the prizes on one of my tickets come from Dick's Sporting Goods.
I thought wow this would be a great format for winning some cool metal detected related equipment. We could have sponsors set it up possibly and it would be guaranteed sales for them. All prizes would more than likely have to be shipped so that would also have to be kept in mind as far as all proceeds going back out to the winners.
I will post a photo of the raffle ticket that I have and let you guys use your imagination of what the prizes could be..:lol:

I'm not trying to sell anything, it's just an idea I had! All I want is to buy a few tickets every year, make this an annual contest. With all the members we have here I think the tickets would sell easy enough.

Thanks for any input on this idea!

Sorry, but after careful consideration, we decided raffles should not be allowed here.
 
It might be a good idea for a free raffle..no money exchanging hands so its not gambling...with the thousands of people on here it might work..i don't know if we have unique numbers for our comments but if that was the case then we'd have a raffle based on from numbers at the start of the year till the end...

The more you comment the more numbers you have...or start a raffle page with each comment given a number from 1 to 500 and when 500 are reached the number is then chosen using a random number generator and that person wins...no money, fun, no wasted comments included and no more then 5 comments for the page.

I = 1 to 500, next I (delay timer)
