I think instead we will have a second raffle in 1 or 2 months.

Only 3 tickets left, so it will be sold out any moment.  :)

Who wants to get the last cookies from the jar?

It will be exciting to follow the draw on Monday. Don't miss the fun! And perhaps you get lucky . . .
3 tickets have 1 - (97/100)4 =11.4% or better than 1 in 9 chance of winning.

I love it how Shootist spread the love among many of his spintop friends and the love was returned by Neff!  :)

We are getting very close to 76 tickets, what would put in play a 4th prize.
Please explain, I do not understand what was going on there. What does the name in parentheses mean behind a name?

The name in parentheses is the person who actually bought the tickets and decided to donate it to somebody else.

The number is 73! Congratulations, Jay!


This proves that you can win even if you get just one ticket!

He will be the first one to choose and I have no idea what prize he will take.

Next drawing in just two and a half hours  (12:27 PM CT)

The first prize chosen by Jay was the . . .  vintage Double Doozer Whistler yo-yo/top!

Let's see what SpinJoel selects.

Joel chose the Elisabetta. The antique beer sign and the Watts top are still in play.

The third winner is 37! Taka wins!

After Jay beat the odds with just one ticket, the gods of probability intervened and Taka's massive buy pays off.

One more chance in 4 hours (10:12 PM CT).

The last winning number is: 52! Congratulations, Texture!

It was worth getting tickets a second time!

Now Taka needs to chose and Texture will automatically get the last prize.

Thanks to everybody who contributed to this fundraiser. Your support is greatly appreciated.
