Our school district changed the rules and our sales opportunities are down this year. Normally the worst-case chance to win is 2500:1 but this year is looking more like 1250:1!

So buy a ticket, win a car! If you need help, we'll drive it to you (in CONUS)!

Quick question is it manual or automatic. We also did the same fundraiser in Arizona we made alot, this is one of the best fundraisers out there. Why do you guys only sell 2500 tickets we were able to get away with selling 7,500.

Nothing special really - we adopted numbers similar to a high school near us that raffles a car to buy stuff for the marching band. The kids sell actual tickets but you can order them off our website (and we mail you a ticket).

7,500 tickets - that is awesome! Congratulations! How much was each ticket? What was the prize? And maybe you can share some of your marketing secrets? You guys are obviously doing it right!

Well we have a non profit that supports most of southern Arizona and one of corporate sponsors is a car dealer who gave us a brand new mustang special edition and then we pay a low cost for the car and then use the rest of the money to support everything. We sold them for like 25 and then 5 for 100.

So it was access to the contacts of the big non-profit that helped the most? Our car deal was much the same.
