MercuryMarauder.net MEGA-RAFFLE is here!

[Logan]

All,


To assist in with raising funds for Marauderville II, we've put together a raffle with over $5000 in prizes for the winning. Odds of winning are 1 in 8 if all 250 tickets are sold out, and go up exponentially if they don't. We will also continue to add to the prize list as we gather more things for the raffle.

Cost of tickets is $25, with the grand prize being your choice of a Reinhart Cobra Exhaust System or a Kook's Custom Header's Exhaust System.

For a full list of all the available prizes to be won and to purchase your ticket:


CLICK HERE (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/raffle.php)


The drawing will occur on-site at the Mercurymarauder.net Breakfast at Marauderville II - The Invasion of Indy on Sunday, August 1st, 2004. Those unable to attend will promptly be notified by phone/email of their winning.


All proceeds from this raffle will benefit Marauderville and help ensure it's the first class event you've come to expect!

Logan:

If the raffle includes the Fender Badges, the tickets are too cheap. Those things have become collector's items. Indeed, I think they have attained the coveted "nanner, nanner, nanner" status.

[martyo]

Can we win more than one prize if we buy more than one ticket?

[Logan]

This set of badges is the VERY last set from the original run that I've been squirreling away for a rainy day...

Regarding multiple tickets, yes. If you buy multiple tickets, you increase your own odds. All tickets will go into a big bucket at MV II and we'll have a youngster draw the tickets.

[Slowpoke]

Logan - can we win more than one prize if we buy multiple tickets??

[Logan]

Poke, Yes, absolutely.

[CRUZTAKER]

I've been waiting to see this post!:up:


Come one, come all....ANYONE on this site can play and win, you don't have to be at Indy...so let's scoop up some great opportunities. :P

[martyo]

Logan - can we win more than one prize if we buy multiple tickets??

An excellent question!

[Logan]

Right on Barry, there's no requirement to be at, or participate in Marauderville II to get yourself a ticket, If you're not at the drawing, I'll personally call you to let you know you've won and arrange to get your prize to you.

[martyo]

I'll personally call you to let you know you've won and arrange to get your prize to you.


The chance to talk to Logan on the phone is by itself worth at least 25 bucks.

By the way, my tickets have been purchased. What are you all waiting for?

[MM03MOK]

Right on Barry, there's no requirement to be at, or participate in Marauderville II to get yourself a ticket, If you're not at the drawing, I'll personally call you to let you know you've won and arrange to get your prize to you.Kinda like a call from the President after a win at the Superbowl!! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_7_3.gif

[woaface]

Damnit! I TOLD myself a few days ago I wouldn't spend anymore money on anything except for gas!

Grrr...I'm going to go think about this one...it's SO tempting...:)

[Logan]

I'll even look up some big words so it sounds all important and stuff. :D

[Logan]

James if you were to win something Marauder specific, I'm SURE our spiffy vendors would work with you to substitute an appropriate prize. :)

[carfixer]

Got mine. I predict these will sell out before the end of the month.

[woaface]

Ok...I owe you something anyways Logan...I have years to save up, just $25 for the month won't hurt.

[MMM2003]

What a great opportunity to win prizes and supporting a great event. Two tickets should be coming my way !

Thanks to all at the MVII - Team ! :up:

[Butch]

Logan - Please keep us up to date on how many tickets are sold/left over each day or so. This will let those of us that have bought them keep up with our odds. I bought two, so I'm really hoping to get something cool!

[Logan]

Sure, I can do that. I'll periodically update it. As of now, there are 230 out of 250 tickets still available.

[martyo]

As of now, there are 230 out of 250 tickets still available.

Geez guys (and gals), get out the crow bars and pry open your wallets, would ya?

[Logan]

Now Marty, I really didn't expect them all to sell on the first day... :D

[Butch]

Now Marty, I really didn't expect them all to sell on the first day... :D

Yeah Marty....

He only expects you to buy all of the ones that don't sell..... :up:

[martyo]

Yeah Marty....

He only expects you to buy all of the ones that don't sell..... :up:

Considering I already bout 15 and only 20 have sold I was wondering about that. :(

[Logan]

hahahhaha...

[woaface]

Logan, I'm ordering one:depress:

The money will be in the mail tomorrow morning insured. :rock:

[Petrograde]

woo hoo! Just bought 2!!
c'mon Kook's! c'mon Kook's! c'mon Kook's! c'mon Kook's!

[jgc61sr2002]

I got mine. Logan says they are going fast, so don't lose out. You must be in it to win it. :up:

[SheboyganGuy]

Two winners just purchased by me!! Nice job with the raffle, Logan!

[MarauderMark]

Right on Barry, there's no requirement to be at, or participate in Marauderville II to get yourself a ticket, If you're not at the drawing, I'll personally call you to let you know you've won and arrange to get your prize to you.



Does this mean the fix is in? :lol:
I hope i weeein...

[Murader03]

DagNabit....by the time I get there, I'll already have the 1st five items installed. Guess if I when one of them I can sell them back or donate them back to be drawn for again......I'd have to work my way down the list to get something I don't have yet.......

[woaface]

Logan, I sent my money today, insured mail. Please keep the change, not much but the best I can do right now:beer:

Edit* WHOA! the delete bar is up at the top! One of those rare times (every other month) it comes up and is there for me to use...:up:

[Racerx88]

Just ordered 2 tickets.
Thanks Logan!
:up:

[MMM2003]

Two winners just purchased by me!! Nice job with the raffle, Logan!

I don't think so Larry !
How can you have just purchased two winning tickets, if I already bought the winning ones earlier?

Good luck and I'll see you there!

[Logan]

Update, Over 50 out of 250 of the tickets have already been sold. The Maximum 1 ticket odds are 1 in 8, those odds are significantly better if the raffle doesn't sell out.

Soooo, get your tickets!! Win a prize! :)

[Racerx88]

So it's been a couple days since you last gave us an update. How many tickets have been sold as of today?

[woaface]

Hey Logan, has my letter seen the hot texas sun yet? I wouldn't have minded coming with...I hear it's nice out there:up:

[Mike M]

I want to buy some tickets but I dont want to deal with pay pal. What do I do?
Can we do it over the phone with a credit card?
Thanks

Mike

[martyo]

From the registration page:

Tickets may be purchased via snail mail by sending the appropriate amount payable to: Logan McLeod, 2109 Woodview Drive, Flower Mound, TX, 75028

[Logan]

What Marty said... :) Just pop a check in an envelope to me is just fine... Just do me a favor, when you send it, put a note in the envelope what you're sending me money for. Some folks forget and I have to chase 'em down...

Also make sure to include name/address/phone number etc, so I can enter it into the register.

[Logan]

As of now, Only 197 tickets remaining.

[Racerx88]

As of now, Only 197 tickets remaining.

What's the latest count Logan?
At last update you'd only sold 53 tickets. The odds are looking real good!

[Logan]

I think it's about 56 right now, which barely covers the cost of the raffle. If we don't sell a significant amount more tickets, I won't be doing another raffle. If this is a success I'm going to look at doing a supercharger raffle.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised there isn't more interest.

[MM03MOK]

There's something for everyone here. The proceeds will directly benefit Marauderville II.

[Racerx88]

If sales don't pick up, I may just have to buy 2 more tickets to go with the 2 I've already bought. That should increase my odds substantially!
:banana2:

[Logan]

Right now it's about 1 in 1.5 chances to win!! ;)

[TAF]

Right now it's about 1 in 1.5 chances to win!! ;)
Is that for your raffle...

Or, the odds Marty gets punched by a Southerner this weekend...:D

[woaface]

Well, I get a $25 check (maybe more, I forget) for watching my friends cat the other week. I'll try and buy another ticket to get some better odds here:D

[martyo]

Is that for your raffle...

Or, the odds Marty gets punched by a Southerner this weekend...:D

I am going to try to avoid this. In fact I learned that it is in bad taste to point out that a lot of guys down there are dating their sisters.

[Logan]

Damn, who knew sitting in a chair, watching a cat paid so well. :)

[woaface]

Well, feeding it and scooping litter was part of the deal too.

But yeah, I saw around and watched the cat and made good money, money for a raffle ticket. :D

[Agent M79]

...I learned that it is in bad taste to point out that a lot of guys down there are dating their sisters.
Yeah... but... she's.... really HOT! :D

[RCSignals]

I'll even look up some big words so it sounds all important and stuff. :D
OK!

So no one gets cheated of this opportunity, if we are at the MV2 breakfast when we win, will Logan still call us on the phone?

[jrzygrl]

Logan:

If the raffle includes the Fender Badges, the tickets are too cheap. Those things have become collector's items. Indeed, I think they have attained the coveted "nanner, nanner, nanner" status. Well, in that case I'm buying my raffle ticket this morning..."gotta' have em!" :up:

[the_pack_rat]

I'm in.

Maybe I'll actually OWN one by the time the raffle goes off.

:up:

Eric

[CRUZTAKER]

63 DAYS!!! Buy 'em up people, this is the best op to win cool shAt that might be otherwise too expensive to buy in these tough times....:P

Odds are too good to resist, and the funds are going to a great event and great product offered here within.

[Logan]

175 tickets remaining...

[dwasson]

what's the latest ticket count?

[jgc61sr2002]

ONLY 75 tickets sold. :depress: Come on people support your site. :D
You have to be in it to win it.

[Logan]

173 tickets available. That's ok, this is one of the primary fund raisers for MVII. Marauderville II will be a success even if I have to pay for it myself. That being said, if I end up footing the bill, you can be sure there won't be a repeat MV, raffle or otherwise.

Not trying to guilt anyone into anything, just the cold hard truth. If there's only this much interest, then's there's no point in me putting the effort into it.

[CRUZTAKER]

Naw, you can guilt them!!! This is the best op to win something really cool, and really pricey, for a mere $25 ticket. What the F? Are we a group of fast food workers? Do we make a living running a paper route?We're Marauder owners, and damnit, we can afford a ticket....one ticket????

BTW: LOGAN, a number of folks have asked me exactly how this raffle is gonna work. For instance, the prizes, will someone pick their prize? Or will numbers be radomly drawn, and prizes will be from lowest to highest value? The folks not going to the meet are reluctant to participate because they think the prize will be chosen for them.

'splain pleaza mon...:rasta:

[Logan]

The prizes that we have only one of will be drawn first, giving everyone a fair shake at the more expensive prizes.

[Racerx88]

Another question......Will we be getting our tickets in the mail, at the event, or are our names just going into the hat a number of times equal to how many "tickets" we bought? What about those of us who won't be able to attend the event?

[MM03MOK]

or are our names just going into the hat a number of times equal to how many "tickets" we bought? Yes. Winners do not need to be present.

[Logan]

Each person will be assigned the appropriate numbers of tickets purchased, the stubs will go into the hat at the event... Accuracy will by multiple parties prior to the drawing.

When will this happen.I haven't received my tickets yet.. :)
I mean you can hold onto them until you pick mine. :bows:

[MM03MOK]

When will this happen.I haven't received my tickets yet.. :)
I mean you can hold onto them until you pick mine. :bows:Read above. No tickets will be sent out. We are keeping an accurate list of ticket purchasers and quantities.

[MarauderMark]

Thank you Mary..I knew this .i dont know why i even wrote this ..All those years of doing drugs i quess. :rasta:
i forgot...

[martyo]

We are keeping an accurate list of ticket purchasers and quantities.

So you have me down for 100 tickets, right? ;)

[MM03MOK]

So you have me down for 100 tickets, right? ;)I suppose I could tear up your purchased tickets into 100 pieces........then you'll have 100. ;)

[martyo]

Nobody likes a wise ass bunny!

Nobody likes a wise ass bunny!

I beg to differ, counselor, EVERYONE loves that wise ass bunny!! :banana2: :up:

[MERCMAN]

Bumping this thread(again). Get your tickets,, still have over a hundred tickets left, so the odds of your winning are really great!! Check out the prizes, all are worth the ticket price. Support MV2 and get that SWEET addition to your already cool ride!!! :banana: :banana:

[Logan]

Still 150 tickets left. Right now, pretty much a 1 in 3 chance of winning substantial goodies.

If you enjoy the site, this is a perfect opportunity to support the site. Selling out this raffle ensures Marauderville isn't left in the red money wise.

The support of the folks purchasing the tickets is GREATLY appreciated and I'll be giddy to announce the winners of all the cool free stuff in a month and a half!!

[jgc61sr2002]

Logan - Thanks for the up date. You have to be in it to win it. :up:

What baffles me is that everyday someone posts that they just bought one of these items....particularly the KOOKS....:confused:

A simple meager $25 ticket could have saved hundreds. Folks are just KOOKY!:nono:

I bought 4 raffle tickets. I am thinking of buying some more. With all the work put into MV2 the least I can do is give away some of my money.

If I win that would be great to.

Now THATS the spirit!!! :up:

[valkyrie]

Now THATS the spirit!!! :up:


IF I bought 4 more tickets which would give me a total of 8 what would my odds be? :beer:

[MM03MOK]

Well......if we've sold 100 tickets (I know we've sold more than that) and you bought 8, that's 8 in 100 chance or 1 in 12.5.


IF I bought 4 more tickets which would give me a total of 8 what would my odds be? :beer:
UPDATE: forget the math above.....must have been half asleep. Yes, extremely good odds you'll win something. 1 in 3 x 8?? LOL

[Logan]

Well, not exactly, there's 30 some odd prizes available, 100 tickets so far sold, and he has 8 of them. Now I'm getting confused. Uh... Odds are good you'll win SOMETHING. :)

[Petrograde]

That's the only reason I haven't bought them yet. If I lose August 2 I order them. :rock:

same here :D

[Murader03]

Well, I bought another 2 tickets yesterday. Now I have 4.....

Just a reminder that your ticket purchase helps Marauderville II and also MercuryMarauder.Net. Show your support for a great event and an even greater website - Our Home.


On sale here!! http://www.mercurymarauder.net/raffle.php
Heck, buy two, or three, or.....

[Logan]

Buy Eight. Yeah.. Eight would be good. :up:

[jaywish]

Hi Logan,

What is the count now?

Did you say you need to sell them all to break even?

Gee it's one of those "evil devil" on one shoulder "good angel" on the other situations.

I'd like to keep the odds down low so I win multiple prizes but it wouldn't be good for you to lose out.

I'm not going to MV this year, but it's just nice to know it exists and I have the option of going. (thankfully no one gets to vote on this) Maybe some year I'll get the chance.

[MM03MOK]

...bump...
