As of right now, I don't know how many prizes will be donated, but this is the way it's going to go, as far as Raffle winners and number of prizes they may choose:

 

1st name drawn is top prize and he/she will choose 5 prizes.

2nd name drawn is 2nd prize and he/she will choose 3 prizes.

3rd name drawn is 3rd prize and he/she will choose 3 prizes.

4th name drawn is 4th prize and he/she will choose 2 prizes.

5th name drawn is 5th prize and he/she will choose 2 prizes.

Names will continue to be drawn until all prizes available will be spoken for.

1st place will not choose 5 prizes in a row, the choosing of the prizes will be in a non-snaking formation from 1st to last, then 1st to 5th, then 1st to 3rd, then 1st and 1st once again for the last choice. Understand? Doesn't matter, I do. (thumbs u

 

 

What I understood from HolidayHam was that it'll work like this: (Let's say there's 70 people choosing prizes).

 

The first name drawn gets to choose first, then 2nd chooses, then 3rd, all the way to the 70th person.

 

Then the #1 guy goes again, then 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

 

Then the #1 guy goes again, then the 2nd, and 3rd.

 

Then the 1st guy gets the last 2 picks.

 

That's how I interpret it, however, we should let HolidayHam confirm or correct this. (thumbs u

This us correct. Good job as usual, Andy.

No. The top Five go in round robin order... but they're guaranteed their prize allotments.

 

So 70 prizes = 60 pickers.

 

1 - 60

Then #1-5 again (#4 and 5 now have two picks so they're done)

Then #1-3 again (#2 and #3 now have 3 picks so they're done)

#1 gets the last two prizes and ends up with 5 picks

 

 

1st name drawn is top prize and he/she will choose 5 prizes.

2nd name drawn is 2nd prize and he/she will choose 3 prizes.

3rd name drawn is 3rd prize and he/she will choose 3 prizes.

4th name drawn is 4th prize and he/she will choose 2 prizes.

5th name drawn is 5th prize and he/she will choose 2 prizes.

Names will continue to be drawn until all prizes available will be spoken for.

 

 

This is correct, and hopefully more clear. :foryou:

Aren't you and HolidayHam one in the same? Or have to you divided your personality into two separate entities in Zaphod Beeblebrox fashion?

 

Inquiring minds want to know. :popcorn:

 

I get that a lot. It's probably the snout. hm

Basically winners 1-70 make their pick. Once winner #70 makes his/her choice...

 

The first 5 winners get a second round of picking prizes. Once #5 makes his/her second choice...

 

The first 3 winners get a third round of selections.

 

At this point, all prizes should be picked!

 

And FWIW, I wouldn't be sad in the least to snag either that SGT Fury #13. Still miss that gorgeous copy I sold a few years back when fundraising for my AF15. :cloud9:

We only get one entry into the drawing right? Not two if you did the gift exchange plus donated to the raffle? Either way I am gonna try and get something together tonight to donate. Will we be able to ship this then directly to whoever wins the items we donate?
