Raffle?

[BlackSnake99]

The raffle drawing is supposed to start in an hour. Is it going to happen as advertised? I see nothing in the non-member section. Any news in the Member Only section?

I don't see any reason it wouldn't go on. They'll find some way to make it happen. I don't see why people are complaining about it to begin with. If someone was giving you a free car you'd find some way to make it work. Worst case just say you bought the car for $100 (or whatever you paid for your tickets).

Because it appears to many that it is an unlicensed raffle, at least in Nebraska. You may have bought the car for $100 but when the state seizes it, your happiness would fade, not to mention those who spent hundreds on tickets for a potentially unlicensed multi-state lottery.


By the way, I am not complaining, I was simply asking if it was going forward.

This: Oops. VCA only site. Disregard.

VP posted a comment the raffle will take place. No other information.

Just concerned about my fellow man...

I think we all care to see how it plays out with the rest of the club. Enthusiast or not, we all want to see the future of this club and the changes it goes thru.

The raffle wasn't being held in Nebraska anyway as it turns out. Woodhouse commented on it elsewhere, but despite what the ticket says it's not being held at the dealership, the car is just there.

So where is it being held?

Our phones did not ring by now. Guess not.

I think the Michigan club where the raffle originated, but I'm not sure on that. Just going off of what I've read about it in various places.

 

[ViperGTS]

A guy named "Bob" won the raffle car... the drawing was on a ship way south of Key West to avoid the problems!

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

Cannot believe it has taken this long to post the four winners. Its almost 2 pm CDT and the tickets say drawing will be 10-11 AM CDT

 

[HyperViper]

This will be my last raffle regardless if they kick the current admin to the curb.

According to MI Law, a raffle such as this must have a 'large raffle license' with the number printed on the ticket.

http://www.michigan.gov/documents/BSL-CG-1824_26045_7.pdf

Tickets used in a licensed raffle, except those used for in-house raffles (see In-house Raffles), must contain specific information. Raffle Rule R 432.21506 requires that each ticket contain at a minimum the following information printed
in a clear and legible manner:

•The name of the licensee. Only the licensee can be listed as the sponsor of the raffle.

•The license number.

•The word “raffle.”

•The date, time, and location of the drawing.

•The price of the raffle ticket.

•A unique sequential identification number on the raffle ticket and ticket stub.

•The top prize or other information as directed by the bureau.

•The stub of the ticket retained by the licensee
shall contain a space for the purchaser's
name, address, and phone number.
Raffle tickets may contain other information as long as it does not conflict with these requirements. Some commonly accepted items are: “Tickets compliments of...”, “Proceeds to benefit...”, “Support provided by...”, and coupons for discounts at local merchants. If you have a question a bout what you can print on your raffle ticket, call our office at (517) 335-5780

IS there a license number printed on the ticket?

 

[viper_itch]

Yeah, I bet the raffle is screwed. I would expect they don't have too many options. Not sure how many states the can shop until they find one where they can legally hold it after having already sold the tickets. I would guess they are going to have to reset it some way, perhaps printing new tickets and offering refunds.

I'm not sure how you hold many successful and legal raffles and then screw one up.

The real ****** is I'm having a party at my house in two weeks to reveal the raffle car to friends and family. Sort too late to cancel that. Won't be much of a celebration without the car there.

Anyone else notice this is NOT the raffle car they showed a picture of at VOI? What's the story there? That one was special (silver) and not something you could order. If I remember correctly. This one is not.

 

[VIPER GTSR 91]

If there IS a mishap for whatever reason it will be interesting to see how long they take to post here about it and why. Wow the replies will really run long then. Im thinking it will go though or has been done.

 

[viper_itch]

The tickets don't have a license number printed on them like the Michigan tickets did from past years

 

[plumcrazy]

did last years have them ? was last years a legal raffle ?

Last year's had Michigan Raffle License R13066 printed on them

 

[BlackSnake99]

Do this year's tickets have the location of the drawing printed on them? If so, what does it say?

Yup, Woodhouse SRT in Blair Nebraska

To which Bill Pemberton said

Never asked us if they could print our name on a ticket, just asked if we cared if the raffle was drawn here since the car was coming here. We said fine, but found out it was probably not appropriate under Nebraska Law and told them sorry it could not be done here. Chrysler/SRT can not do these as the cars have to go through Dealers, and so we , Tomball and others have done these to help out VCA over the years. Never been to a raffle, don't have a clue what is done, as we have only been the conduit the car went through, but could care less where they draw this - we just told them we could not do it.

That's what I thought. Doesn't seem like this raffle is valid in either state, Nebraska or Michigan.


That seems problematic.
