Gransport raffle

[2b1ask1]

An interesting proposal Loz, if you can guarenteed selling alll the tickets nad likewise reasure the maximum numbers. All that remains is the integrity of the draw... I cannot think of better odds in a draw than 200:1 for such an exclusive prize! I'd have one or more tickets I think.

Has anyone ever entered a car raffle that you see at airport lounges, does anyone ever know anyone thats won one

Just wondered what the response might be if i was to raffle of my car at the xmas do , say 200 tickets at a £100 a pop , could make for an interesting night



regards loz

A client of mine won 5 cars in the Bahrain airport special raffle!!! He's a great guy, didn't really need em (he's minted anyway) so he sold 4 and kept the new Lexus 430 as it has a fab a/c which can be quite important when the temps hit 49degrees.
Cheers Wattie

I entered one once, never won a thing, just a bit of fun. So count me in also.

 

[Andyk]

I enter for a new 911 once...£10....Never won....NOt suprised to be honest...

 

[dem maser]

I dont enter.....

 

[SimonM]

Think I'd be tempted Loz!

On the issue of legality, I assume the reason "Best of the Best" is legal is that it's not a lottery per se, u have to do a spot the ball, hence the inclusion of a skill / choice makes it a competition and therefore "fair game"

 

[Woody]

I think if there is no skill involved, you need a license....which isnt worth the hassle. Throw in an elelement of skill (think 'Spot The Ball' or a question usually something like "What car am I raffling? Is it A) Maserati GranSport or B) A Banana?") and I think you make it a competion rather than a lottery.

Trouble it, what do you do if you dont sell 200 tickets? Give the money back?

 

[conaero]

Woody might be right, so a simple question to gain entry might be required.

Its a good idea and the forum is willing to back so that it is fairly done.

Loz, stick me down for a ticket, why not!

 

[dem maser]

im game.....spend £100 get a gransport.....roll up roll up........

 

[conaero]

If the tickets fall short, say by £5k, you offer the winner the car for £5k or their £100 back, then draw it again, and so on...

I dont think you'd get away with that. I might be able to afford the £100 ticket, which could be seen as good value for a car. Its not quite such good vale for the opportunity to buy a car for £5k.

 

[dem maser]

rules havwe to be in place and then decisions will be made....i dont have a prob with £100 but if i win and have to pay 6k for example in the end then it its hard as i dont have that.......


straight lottery, im in!!

 

[Elliott653]

This could end in tears.

 

[lozcb]

I'll have a serious think tonite about some precautiionary rules/guides , i want to make sure everything is fair and squeaky crytsal clear as it should and can be , sportsmaserati paypal holding account seems the way forward , so that money is held safe in one place , ready for return in the event that not enough tickets are sold , easy to set up an easy but skilful provisional question before entry is allowed ......huff huff

"what make of car does the gransport belong to?"

 

[TridentTested]

The Gransport is made in:-

(a) Dagenham
(b) Modena
(c) Tokyo

 

[cobratwin]

That would be (a) dagenham no?

 

[dickygrace]

I reckon you'd sell 50 tickets fairly easily, but 200 would be far more hassle than simply selling the car through the usual channels. It's a great idea in principle, but in reality probably more hassle than it's worth.

 

[Geofflyn]

I'm still having trouble with the math. 200 tickets at 100 quid is 20,000 isn't it? Is that all you are looking to get for the GS?
