Title: Raffle tickets for sale
Post by: Mericet on September 03, 2011, 01:44:21 PM
I am currently a student at Montgomery Community College in Troy, NC. We have a yearly fundraising raffle for our Gunsmithing club. Raffle tickets are only $5.00. Grand prize is a Remington 700 CDL in .30-06, w/ a Sightron Big Sky 3.5-10x50mm scope. 2nd prize is a Leupold VX-3 3.5-10x50mm rifle scope and 3rd prize is a Mossberg by Maverick 12ga Shotgun w/ hunting barrel. Only 3000 tickets will be sold!

The money raised is used to fund general supplies used in the course. If I sell 80 tickets, my flight and hotel expenses will be covered for the SHOT show in Vegas next year. This is a very important opportunity for me for networking in my new career.

Contact me by private message, email (mericet at triad dot rr dot com) or text (six one four five nine eight zero one six four) for details and to work out payment etc. I can take payments by Paypal and Amazon.

Obviously the rifles shipped will be subject to all federal laws (FFL transfer).

Quick update.

I have not only reached my goal of selling 80 tickets but managed to sell about 140 in total. Hello SHOT show 2012!

The club managed to sell almost all the tickets at this point (about 150 left)

The drawing is on Dec 8 and I will update here who the lucky winner/s was.

I got two, and should just go ahead and send Mericet my FFL's name/address cause that's where it's going to be mailed.

Hey, even I have a few tickets!

No guns for you, Neil.  You get the trip, I get the guns  ;D ;D ;D

Got my tickets today and they are lucky numbers!!

I have 2211 through 2214.

Well, 22 has been my lucky number since 1964 so all 5 have that number.

My birthday is March 14, so the 14 it covered also.  My Mom's birthday was March 12, so 12 is covered also.

Since our our birthdays were a day apart we always celebrated on March 13th, so we got that one too.

My Dad's birthday was April 11, so with that one, they are all covered..


My advice is to sell your tickets so someone before the word gets out that I'm gonna win  ;D ;D ;D

Take care and good luck to all the other ticket holders....you're gonna need it  :D

Will get the pictures up later today. The drawing was yesterday at 1pm. The grand prize winner was Johnny Williamson, one of the second year gunsmithing students. He was really excited! The second prize went to Jackie Miller from Burlington NC. The president of the gunsmithing club sold her the ticket. The 3rd prize went to David Wells who, I believe, is one of the regional Friends of NRA members. Our senior instructor sold the ticket. At final count there were only 100 unsold tickets. Thank you to everyone that participated. You helped me make my goal of selling 80 tickets and not having to pay my own way to SHOT show 2012. The money we raised will also help to purchase supplies and tools for our program.
