Just bought ticket # 937 out of 1000. Wish me luck!!!!

Greg MFn Z

O and when I bought it they said there was only 3 tickets left, so why wasn't my # 997? Do they sell the numbers randomly. I tried to ask her but she was too busy sayn Good Luck and hanging up.

Greg MFn Z

Good luck to you as well. I really hope someone on this board wins it.
And maybe even if their not already on here they will sign up after they win it to show it off lol.

Greg MFn Z

I was watching on the webcams at 4:00 Central and never saw them do the drawing which they normally do on the Blvd. When and where did they do the drawing and where did you learn the winning ticket number?

Greg MFn Z

I called them because I
Also purchased 5 $10 tickets for the red Vert tomorow since I didn't win the Blue one. They've sold 21,000 tickets for the red one. Yikes

m3incorp

I know who is going to win the red vert.........ehhhhhh good crystal ball I have. I;m sure he will sell it unless his significant other decides she really doesn't want that BMW M4 or X6 or whatever the heck it is that she wants to get back at me....I mean him/she that wins.

Wow whoever is doing the raffles is making some cash,,,,
lets do the math 250 dollars x 1000 tickets=250, 000,, how many more stingrays he could buy..maybe I should sell mine on a raffle and make enought to buy me a 2015 Z06...Lol.just an observation. ? ?Don't mean to **** anybody off...

The raffles are run by the National Corvette Museum and are part of their fund raising efforts.

Here's the winner:

What you say is very true. My understanding is that profits are put towards the running of the museum. Though you have to admit "all" raffles or lotteries tend to lead to a nice profit for the organization that is having it.

About 20 years ago I won a Porsche 944 Turbo. I received a phone call and the person on the other end of the line said "I had won a Porscheee". I said "what the heck is that" and hung up the phone.

They tried to call back several times but I kept hanging up thinking it was some sort of scam.

About 4 days letter I received a "Certified Letter" stating that I had Won a 944 Turbo, holy *****. The letter instructed me to call a local Porsche dealer to arrange delivery of the car.

Sure enough, I went to the dealer and they had my Red 944 Turbo all nice and clean, ready to go.

I told the dealer I really didn't want the car because I had just purchased a new car 2 weeks prior.

The dealer said "I'll give you $10,000 less than what invoice is, we'll cut you a check right now".

I said "cut the check and I'll be on my way". First I had to take a ton of pictures so Porsche could promote the contest. I said fine, whatever.

A year later I won $10,000 cash in another contest.

One year later my sister won a crappy Chevy Cavalier.

A few months later I was runner-up to winning a Harley Davidson, won 2nd prize (a vacation).

It can happen.

Hope to see you standing next to that cool Vette

thespymaster

When I purchased my first vette , a 2009 Z06 , I've been buy tickets on and off and won one last December and still continue to buy the randomly !

My understanding is they do about 40-45 raffles a year and being a non-profit funds received are public record!

Tennis & Golf Nut

In most cases yes.

Although I'm starting a contest on Facebook and I'm giving away 10 prizes, Grand Prize is $10,000.00 Cash.

The contest is Free entry, no purchase necessary. However, they do have to provide their contact info such as eMail, address, etc... with that info I can then market my product.

I did this once before on a much smaller scale. I gave away about $3,000.00 in prizes.

I netted $61,000.00 profit in ten days from the sale of my products.

People LOVE contest, especially when there is no purchase necessary.
