Thanks Guys - I KNOW what you bring will be great!! :hug:
Ahhh, the rules and FAQ's are posted below..be sure to read them carefully!!
FAQ's
Where do I purchase the Raffle tickets?
The MR Registration Table (where you first come to when you get to the Swap) will be where you can buy the Raffle Tickets. They will be available for sale until a few minutes prior to the start of the drawing. We will also have folks selling Raffle tickets circulating around the room at various times during the day.
How much will do they cost ?
The tickets will be available in $1 and $5 denominations. The price of the Raffle Ticket will be determined by the value of the prize.
How do I choose the prize I want?
Go look at the tables loaded with Raffle prizes ..directly in front of that table will be another table loaded with white ‘Buckets’. The top of each bucket will have the name of the prize and a ‘slot’ to drop your lucky raffle ticket into.
Pick the prize or prizes that you want to win and drop at least one raffle ticket into that bucket - (be sure you put in the correct $ amount ticket! )The Prizes will require either a $1 or $5 ticket for entry.
Be SURE to KEEP the portion of the ticket that says “KEEP THIS TICKET”.
You can drop in as many tickets as you want into the individual buckets to increase your chances of winning that item!
Do I have to be at the Raffle to win?
Yes and no. At a past swap we attempted to make it so you didn't need to be still be there during the raffle to win, but that had it's own challanges (like where to store all of the Raffle prizes whose winners had already left) due to that we decided that you MUST be at the swap in order to win.
If a winning ticket holder is not in attendance, we will chose another ticket. Hint, hint..if you have to leave before the drawing..give'em to your best buddy who will still be there during the Raffle...hmmmm...great idea!!
What Time is the Raffle being held?
The Raffle will begin at 4:00 PM and should last about 30 - 45 minutes.
How do I get my winning prize?
If you hold the winning ticket for an item, you will present the ticket to a Raffle Volunteer at the front of the room. You will then be given the cover of the bucket..with the name of the prize you have won. Take the cover to the Raffle Volunteer at the Prize table, hand in your cover and you’ll be given your Prize! This year we ask that you give the Volunteer your screen name when you come to pick up the cover of the bucket..we’d like to keep track of who wins these great prizes!
Will I be able to hear the winning number so I know if I win?
Sure hope so! Most everyone is quiet enough because they want to hear their own ticket number being called! To help that along we will once again (hopefully) set up a screen and display the winning ticket numbers as they are drawn. If you hold a winning ticket - step right up to the front of the room and present your ticket. No need to wait until the end of the drawing.
Anything else I need to know?
This is where the small print comes in…
Probably not, but if we need to make up more rules as the event unfolds and questions come up, we reserve the right to make those decisions on the spot.
IF you happen to drop a BLUE ticket into a bucket that requires a RED ticket (you get the idea)...please contact a member of the Raffle Staff Immediately and we will retrieve your ticket for you IF you can show us the other half of the ticket. Once the Raffle begins we will NOT retrieve any misplaced tickets!
Any tickets that are of the incorrect color for the prize being drawn will NOT be honored and a ticket of the correct color will be chosen as the winning ticket.
It's that time again!!
