Rifle Raffle!!!!!!!!!!

I thought the same thing. But buying a few slots in my own benefit raffle sounds like bad form. Then again... This is a free market and there is nothing that stops me from buying 1000 Powerball tickets? If we try to close this down soon, I'll let all of you that wanted to buy more buy more. Hell, I don't care if you do it now.

 

For timely shipping purposes we need to wrap it up soon. I will only be home for one week then have to report back to work for a 3 week hitch. So I can ship the rifle and parts kit either the first week of Nov. or the first week of Dec. Doesn't matter to me, but if it is later than the 4th of Nov. then the winners will have to wait until Dec. for me to get home and arrange the shipping.

 

Alrighty then. The only thing I've ever won was a bottle of hooch in an anchor pool, so I've written off the chances of hitting this anyway. Plus, I have a 223 eater and another unbuilt kit. Therefore, I've made a donation willingly. Major kudos to minuteman for the effort and generosity, but if for some reason the ticket bin is not filled, I am not sweating the thought of taking the raffle down until timing is not an issue or canceling altogether. I cannot see letting it go for less than the full bucket, that's asking too much of mm.

 

9 spots left.

I posted the raffle at another forum, GIM, and we sold some spots today.

BTW, I can assure you that every penny raised in this is going to a good cause. And the items will be shipped to the winners as soon as possible.

You won't find a more honest, caring, ready to help a friend (or stranger) bunch of people than you will here at "The Monkey". If you newer memders haven't seen this thread you need to check it out. See what it means to be a "Monkey".

For details as to how the final spots have been awarded. This thread is now locked for the moment, so we can double check and verify that all they spots have been awarded properly.


Let there be a beginning to the winning!

 

Ok. We still have the free raffle going so we will give that the rest of today for any who want to get in. I will be on again this evening and we will have the drawing then.

9 PM CST tonight!!!! We draw.


FYI this is the online "Randomizer" program that we will be using for the drawing. It will randomly select three numbers. Those numbers will win in order; the rifle, the parts kit, the radio.

Nice job Clyde!
Must have been re-readring "What it means to be a Monkey"

 

Here's the final freebie spread sheet. We got 40 of the 77 available, but here we go, and too bad for the late comers. BTW, that randomizer is as good as they come. Thanks Minuteman, for a good job.

So if RESERVED wins it we choose one of those in a second drawing?

 

I will do the "Reserved" drawing first. Then the Rifle Raffle. Since it seems like everyone is in that wants in I say let the games begin.

I am just starting my day (night) at work so don't have time right now.

I will lock the thread for the free raffle and if Melbo or Ghrit want to plug the numbers into the randomizer and let it select the winner for the free raffle then I will be back on in an hour or two and we will do the rifle drawing.

You cant link to the results of the randomizer but I was going to take a screen shot and post that for verification of the results.

 

OK, then, I've run a test on the randomizer, and understand how to use it. If I don't hear from Melbo in the next half hour (1900 ET here) I'll run it for the free slot and post the answer. It saves the results in an excel sheet that I think I can copy and past here. Data is skimpy, but it gives the answer.
