*** Fundraiser *** Pioneer/Partner P62

[Work Saw Collector]

Wow.

Thats cool Thanks FHS.

Since we now have several items up (Thank you guys) , how about the first name Stihlboy draws gets the P62, and the next names get their choice, in order they were drawn. Sound OK to everybody?

Ya, that sounds good.

To maximize the contributions you should draw a percentage of the total contributions, 10, 25 or 50% of the total for the grand prize and award it to the person with the most duplicates. If duplicates are not found award the prize to the first name pulled. Throw the non winners back in the hat and go from there....and pull for choice of second prize on down.

Sort of like the million dollar glass of lemonade...you only have to sell one.

Your strategy only works for those that are donating solely for the prize, and has the potential to prevent those that only can afford a chance or 2 from donating. If you are interested in the prize, why buy a ticket if you know you can't compete? Lotteries and raffles work because everyone thinks they can win, even if their chances are vanishingly small. I know I run that pretty yellow saw in my mind before I go to sleep. Might run that 257 a night or 2 as well...

That being said, it's pretty clear from this thread that the majority are contributing just to help out. Especially parrisw, Davesmowerandsaw, and JacobJ! There's got to be a special place in heaven with big trees and no fencing staples for you guys.

She even thought that was funny.

 

[edisto]

just an idea...perhaps a bad one.... (I get those sometimes)

Nothing wrong with ideas...especially when it comes to maximizing giving! All I saw was you trying to help the process out the best way you could. I was just offering my thoughts on the suggestion.

I did not realize that wives were eligible for donation. That could be a big money saver.....

If we could win a new wife, I want out can't afford the one I have. :hmm3grin2orange:

I know we went off topic a tad but, the more post count and thread views the more the thread will get attention. :hmm3grin2orange:

That's a great idea. Works for me.
