Sine Modern Saint won the RC Booster this morning I decided to get the July giveaway going today, partially because I want to draw attention to our grant application/competition that we are only 99 votes away from. :)

Here is the blurb about the contest. Today is June 28th and we have until June 30th to get our final votes to even have our grant application considered:


I entered my business Premier Music ( which is the parent company for MarkWeinGuitarLessons.com) in the Chase/livingsocial $250,000 grant contest and we need your support....we need 250 votes before they will consider the application for the grant...you can check it out here:https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com/ - search for "Premier Music" in Orange, CA.


If we were to win it would allow us to move to a new building and cover the build out costs, market our business in a "big boy" way and improve the quality of our lesson content. You have to go to the site and search for premier music in Orange CA to vote and unfortunately its only open to folks who have Facebook accounts....

In for one so far.

I only made it up to 8 entries in June. I'm sure entry #9 would have been the winner. :embarrassed:

This is what happened to me except it was probably #10 that got me the win. I submitted #10 one day before the deadline at 9 or 10 in the evening.
 
I was thinking the drawing was on June 30, so I was planning on doing an entry tomorrow and Saturday (if I thought about it).

Oh well.
 
In a traditional drawing you might think a late entry would get drawn since it's at the top of the pile.
I was late to a work Christmas party years ago. Hence, I was one of the last entries for the raffle.
There were many prizes but I won one of them. $50 cash.
Later on, the guy that was doing the drawing told me that the name he actually drew was one of the Excecutive VPs. And that bastard always wins things. He has won numerous lotto scratchers for big money as well as sports/game pools etc. So, instead of calling his name, the drawer looked in the hat and saw my name on top and called me instead. I spent the $50 on drinks for our table. Every Christmas party after that was alcohol free. We did have a lot of fun.

we have a family at my sons school that supplies the raffle items and then buys half the tickets so the end up winning most of it back.
 
Sounds like my train club raffles whenever I attend. I would buy maybe $20 worth to help support the club and a few others would buy $300-400 worth of tickets. I am lucky to win one or two items but it usually dominated by the big spenders.

One year my Little League had a Chinese Auction set up at Homecoming. I put my tickets in a few things, and thought nothing of it. The next day, I found out that I won a bat (Louisville Slugger that I turned into splinters in High School), a Cal Ripken Jr. Starting Lineup figure, and 3 tickets to see the Phillies play the Cardinals. That was a big deal back then, for it was the ear of Big Mac. I watched him hit a few dingers in BP, but he ended up only playing the first inning (ankle or something), and didnt even get to hit. By far, however, the most interesting part of that game was that I witnessed the infamous "throwing of batteries" at JD Drew...good times...

Hmmm.... sounds like the train club I belonged to. Mine had a twist for shows though. They would open up the raffle to people at the train show, and the twist was that the winner had to collect their prize by the end of the day. If the winner didn't show up to collect, then the item(s) would go to the club as a donation. The prize was usually a high end loco or big buck structure kit that would look nice on the layout if not won. Highly unethical I thought.
