I'd forgotten about this. Pretty cool prize package for only $10.

Nice job Abs. Got two entries right away. Odds are pretty good right now. Everybody entered so far would win multiple prizes. Odds of winning about 3:1, for.

[stiffysboss]

Is there a way to buy more than 3 at a time, or should I just keep filling in forms?

[Candy LaChance]

LoweTek had suggested that you just make a "donation" for as many tickets as you want, and then add that the $$ is for x number of raffle tickets in the "comments" box rather than filling out multiple forms.

And more cool stuff coming up in the raffle, so keep an eye out!

Got your six entries lady. How many do you want? We can make a special deal...

I followed Candy's suggestion, but I can't get from the confirmation screen to the donate screen. And I may have duplicated the order.

You have a PM.

[kevlog]

I can't get the screen to load properly. I've tried on different days and the page just won't load. Are there other ways to buy raffle tix?

Thanks!

[Candy LaChance]

New info from LT: When you get to the raffle ticket page, before you enter the form, refresh the page first and then fill in the form. He swears it works! Also, even if the form doesn't get filled out, once you hit the donate button it will go through and he will be able to see it was for the raffle.

I'm sure he'll correct me later if I got this wrong: right now he's out coaching baseball, of all things.

[cwright]

I just wanted to make sure that I was able to buy multiple tickets ($30) - did the form send correctly?

Got it. Nicely done.

[redsoxstiff]

I think we're finally squared away. Let me know if I clicked the wrong button again.

[wyatt55]

On the board with some raffley raffleness. please let me know if it doesn't show up.

Edited by wyatt55, 12 July 2009 - 10:45 PM.

[LoweTek]

Everybody is good. Thanks for your participation.

[wyatt55]

So we're all on the same page, one drawn ticket = one prize, correct LT? So there will be multiple winners, each drawn ticket gets one of the above prizes, no?

A post upthread seemed to reference this as a winner take all, one drawn winning ticket raffle.

This.

A signed copy of "Red Sox Century" was just added!

I'm a dolt. I made the donation, but forgot to specify the number of tickets it was for in the comments box. I am hoping LT is quicker on the uptake than I am.

It's all good. I got it and I get what you intended.

[Candy LaChance]

You have until FRIDAY, July 24 to buy raffle tickets!

[taxmancometh]

Thanks for the reminder. I just paid for my 3 chances.

[FenwayRocks]

Paid for tickets with $50 - after hitting 'Send', it acknowledged my donation but didn't automagically return me to the page to hit "Donate", so I went there manually. Paypal did take my money - I just hope my comments made it through on the first pass, re the prizes.

Thanks.

[Candy LaChance]

I'll follow up and make sure LT got it.

Edit: he has it, as well as your message.

Everything came through normally. Comments noted. Thanks.

[The Four Peters]

I really hope I win OJ's cookies and BigCPapi's beer. It would be delicious and fitting, all at once.

[Candy LaChance]

The Kalish ball just added would have been an auction item for sure, but it was delivered too late.

[Orange Julia]

Last year they were gifted together, but I made caramel turtles.

[taxmancometh]

Dad bought lunch, so I just got another $10 worth of raffle tickets.

[BrazilianSoxFan]

There is the possibility of international shipping?

[LoweTek]

There is the possibility of international shipping?

There is. Winner would have to cover it of course. What if you win the Yankee tickets? The cookies might be a problem too...

[educatedcheese]

I'm in for 3 tix. If my Death Pool / Tommy John contest / game thread starter luck is any indication, I've just raised the odds of winning for the rest of you. You're welcome!!

(LT -- the order form kept getting hung up on me; let me know if I screwed up)


Edit: Uh oh. Post number 666. So much for luck.

If you are an attractive Brazilian female, I'm pretty sure Skrub will hand deliver the bounty should you win. PM him with pictures for details.

I almost said the booty instead of bounty, but that sounded wrong.

[BrazilianSoxFan]

Ha!

Can't say too much about attractive, but definitely not female.

But if any of you wanna go to a nice, quiet city by the beach, this is the place. We're in mid-winter right now and it's about 68-75ºF (20-24ºC), or f*cking cold, as we like to call it. When you're freezing in the Boston winter, we're in the middle of our summer vacation.

I'm a little busy right now, but I'll probably enter the raffle tomorrow. (Done)

[HighHeat]

I'm in for 9 chances @ $30. Please let me know if it didn't go through.

Thanks!

[Jneen]

I'm in for $10 (that I should have put toward my overdue electric bill, but hey - the auction only comes once a year!)

[Candy LaChance]

Today's trade makes that Adam LaRoche bobblehead a little more relevant, doesn't it? PRESCIENCE!

[Candy LaChance]

We'll keep selling these until midnight tonight; drawing will be tomorrow evening.

[Candy LaChance]

WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Perfect for DOTB, who could write the companion piece

Winners Announced where? I want to see who got my books so I can haunt them about reading each.

[Candy LaChance]

Look at the first post in the thread!

[LoweTek]

Hah, ByB won the cook book? He's gonna be tired of looking at cook books by the end of this week... not to mention he bought one too!
