Raffle Procedure:
The raffle will begin with 250 tickets in the drawing. This is a reverse raffle - the last ticket drawn wins the grand prize.
When 9 tickets remain in the drawing, a ticket is drawn from the Loser’s Boost tickets to go back in the main drawing.
After 8 tickets remain, we will auction off two bonus tickets that will go back into the drawing and the drawing continues.
When only 5 tickets remain, we enter negotiations among the last 5 contestants (in-person and/or via phone). The last contestants can decide whether they want to split the $10k prize among themselves or continue the drawing. ALL contestants must agree to split, or the drawing will continue. The next ticket drawn is out and negotiations will proceed until the remaining ticket holders agree to split or only one ticket holder remains.
