    Saw this dangling from the building, freaked me out thinking I was hallucinating from the damn heat. Got closer and its fake!! Marketing at its finest.

    Like 6 prizes with 7 tickets? o_O Those odds don't add up.

    I bought $100 worth too and didn't get a number drawn.





    Want to tell us how many tickets you really bought? :p

    I'd give Lauren $60, and ask her to choose something for me, than pay $100 and not choose anything.

    Side note, I purchased $20 worth of tickets (6) at the Strictly Crawlers event, and found another $20 worth on the ground near my truck... and won nothing. While 4-5 people won prizes over and over and over again. 80% of the prizes went to those 4-5 people, including the Cash prize at the end.

    All kidding aside there is nothing "fixed" about the raffle we do. It's all legit. Somebody just needs to keep Lauren in Moab on raffle night to keep her from entering. :D

    So you guys know next time just rub your tickets on Lauren and you'll win something. That's how Andy did it.

    I was more then happy to donate the funds to help out the 3 RT guys. Anytime guys!

    I don't enter many raffles, so I'm not sure which is better or worse, limiting the number of tickets per person (lower amount of tickets sold, but more people win) or allowing people to buy as many tickets as they want but limit the number of times they can win (maybe 2 times?) (people have their number called but cannot claim a prize, what happens to those tickets?)

    Maybe repeat winners get entered in for a Cash Prize at the end, allowing raffle prizes to go to many different people. This still favors people who buy multiple tickets.

    Only $100 worth lol. My dad put in $100 too and only won a single prize. Plus some of the stuff I got was bundled together. My compressor came with gloves and a hat, the Spacers came with the $100 gift card, the mug was with a hat, etc. I know I had a few tickets leftover. I don't mind spending the money because I know it goes to a good cause.

    The guy who pulled my ticket for the BAMF gift card we rescued the year before last off of Cliffhanger during RT. Good karma? :notsure:

    Andy won a bunch of stuff too LOL and he still owes me shocks. :p He did a sneak attack on my tickets while I was off using the bathroom lol

    Our friends that were there for the first time won a few things too. It really made their trip I think so they'll be returning again.

    Hell I was happy with the gloves, 2 hats, 2 shirts, CVT mug, and patches galore. it was fun watching everyone go gaga and me freaking out over my 3 tickets like it was bingo lol

    granted I only won one of the hats and gloves (stoked about that honestly as I never win anything) but still the event was AMAZING and we will def be returning to RT again.

    Callie put her RT patch on her forester as well :) she loves that thing
