The ticket price is $10 and I'm limiting the tickets to 25. You can buy multiple tickets if you'd like. Raffle will close on Dec 24 and winner will be chosen on Christmas. I need at least 20 tickets for the raffle to happen. Money will be due before the close of the raffle. paypal or mailing of a check is fine.

I'm hoping I can have one of the Site Admins or Directors draw the name assuming there will be one that isn't buying a ticket. :whistle :cheers:

I'll update names as people say they want in. Let me know how many tickets.

Just to be fair, I would be willing to record a video of having all names in a bucket and then have one of my kids pull the winner* out. That way you could see it happen and know there was no bias.

*However; if the winner is not present at the time of name drawing, I get the camera.... ha! Kidding of course.

OK, the list has been updated. Also, so everyone is aware, this isn't a raffle to make me lots of cash. Just thought this might be a fun way to offer up a sweet helmet cam. I still had to buy it and while I get a deal, it's still pricey.

New addition - if we make it to 25 tickets, the forum is getting a $25 donation.

Whoot!

OK, I didn't want to mention this till I was sure and had the camera in hand. It is the retail box so it does come with the flat surface mount and a goggle mount. I can order up other mounts or the waterproof case for the winner. That will be on the winner to pay for though.

Come on people! Tickets are available.

10 days left. Still need 10 tickets. It's a sign! Come on folks, this is less than you'd spend on a lunch and the outcome could be much better.

I'm still going to go in on this. Just like mr freeze I need to wait for payday. However I just found out that we are starting to carry these at Best Buy. Just to let everyone know we have them for 299.99 sooooo 299.99 or 10 bucks... your choice.
