      @ Odds

      Jim, you are still missing it. they are going to cap the dollar value of tickets sold. Lets say they only plan to sell 1000 dollars worth and thats it. They could sell em at 10 bucks each, or they could sell at 100 each. if they sold em at 100, your chances would be 1 out of 10. not 1 or even 10 out of a hundered.

      In the lottery they let you buy as many as you want, no cap, and add the money you spent to the pot.
      Actually Tony you may be the one who is not getting it. Using your example and Jim's theory, the odds are better for the guy who has 9 of the 10 or 19 of the 20 tickets as opposed to the guy who just bought one. Like the NBA lottery that is weighted for the biggest season loser. But also like that lottery the long shot could still win. (Hence the guy w/ only one ticket could still win ala the Orlando Magic). But odds are not important to the raffle only to those buying the tickets. I would be in for 1 - $100 or 2 - $50.
