2008 BMW Raffle

[bluemoon]

Happy Holidays everyone.
Apparently I put this up too close to the drawing date (Jan. 6 if the flyer didn't have it, it should have). So my mentor said this for the people who wanted tickets,

AT THIS LATE DATE, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO HANDLE THE TRANSACTION: They have to mail you the check immediately, so we can be sure that it clears. You fill out and keep the stub with their name address and phone number. Then mail them their half. I would even suggest putting a photocopy (library) of the stub with their info in the envelope too.

So that's what I'm going to be doing, sorry for any inconveniences. If you still want a ticket send an email or PM, with your name, address, phone number and how many you want, and I'll send back a photocopy of the ticket stub, ticket and who to make the check out for.

For the people who wanted information on the raffle:
-Must be 18 years or older to enter. Winner need not be present to win.
Winner to be notified by phone or mail.
- If less than 3538 tickets are sold, drawing will be for 50% of all cash donations collected
- Winner may elect to receive a cash buyout of $25,000 in lieu of 2008 BMW 328i Coupe, provided all tickets are sold. Car must be picked up at Competition BMW of Smithtown (NY).
-For confirmation of receipt of ticket, call (631) 471 - 1400


Finally to the people who are asking about the car's specs:
I'm sorry but I'm not a car person, I'm horrible at that
However, hopefully this site has what you want: http://www.auto123.com/en/new/carinf...pe&year=2 008

I know the 328i powers the rear wheels with BMW's 3.0 Litre I-6 (inline 6 cylinder) engine, pushing ~230hp and gets about 17 mpg city and 26ish mph highway.

beyond that its up to the buyer what package/accessories the car gets.

Our general experience with raffles of this nature for this high of a prize value, is that the state requires you to sell tickets for a certain amount of time. I'm going to guess it was 6 months to a full year for this one.

I would suggest next time you do a raffle like this, just post it here as soon as you know you're good to go to sell tickets, and you will get a lot more replies with a lot more time to deal with as well.

Good luck with the raffle!
