That link didn't work, but here's the real link:

http://www.pohankaofsalisbury.com/orderform/raffle_ticket_sale.jsp

The raffle benefits the US Marines Toys for Tots campaign.  I read the other day in the newspaper that 1,600 tickets were left out of 5,000.  It's $100 a ticket.  For some reason they say you can't register the car in certain states (?) and you have your choice of the SLR or $300K.  Isn't the SLR worth more then than, like nearly $500K?

But here's another raffle for you:

http://www.mbca.org/pages/raffle/raffle.htm

The MBCA holds one or two raffles a year.  You must be a member.  Details are on the link.  This one benefits the MBCA, and is the source of a significant portion of its operating funds.  These are $60 a ticket, 8,500 tickets, and there are 3 prizes.  You get the cash equivalent.

I wonder why the restrictions on state of registration.

I live in VA so if I will I cannot register it here.  Then again, if I win an SLR, I am moving!

I know some states, like Washington state, prohibit certain kinds of raffles.  Other states won't allow tickets to be sold unless the raffle is registered in that state.  But it is a strange list of states...

On the subject of raffles I won a S500 (completely loaded with a showroom value of about $100000) from the Dubai Duty Free airport raffle. I still use the car.
