2012 Governors and Raffle Tags

[Pathfinder101]

I like the 5 ticket limit idea!  I'd definitely up my tickets from a couple to five.  I'd would also be exciting to see some different people holding the tag.  Maybe they could make it a you can only be successful once every 10 year tag, though I doubt anyone would be lucky enough to draw twice in 10 years if tickets were capped at five.  I too wonder if it would raise more money.  Is there an example of this in another state?  If so, and its working, someone should point it out to wdfw.  I figure if the raffle sold 10000 tickets at $6 that would be 60000, which is more money than most of the auction tags sell for and it would only take 2000 hunters to buy 5 tickets to get there.

No way the'll ever do that.  The state would lose too much money.

I don't think they would.

I doubt they ever would but if they did I am sure the cap would be more than 5

Do you think that enough people who are "sitting out" would jump in if they thought they had a better chance?  Would take alot of us "sitters" jumping in to make up $3,000

Hundred folks.....

I might be one of them

The odds are presently so poor that they get none of my money.

Yeah, usually one or two people a year win that purchase less than $200 in raffle tickets but I will keep my money with those odds.

I do, and if you read through the thread you will see where I explain why. Just look at the replies from a few on here already, some have said they would probably buy all five rather than just one or two, and others that don't buy any said they probably would if it were changed.

I did not buy one raffle ticket last year. I bought 7 or 8 the year before, but that was because I didn't yet know about the individuals purchasing so many tickets that they were virtually guaranteed to win.

The auction tags should be for the guys with unlimited money to spend. Raffle tickets should be for the regular guys who can only afford to put in $20 or $30. IMO

Same thing Bobcat, NOT ONE ticket this last year and previously I bought at least five in most categories, maybe 10 in a couple.   They didn't get a dime from me this year.

I've never bought one.  Why, I have no answer.  Always talked about it.  The last couple years when I got serious about buying several, my gut feeling said to spend the money elsewhere with the huge lots of tickets getting purchased by select individuals.  Was I mad, no.  Just chose to spend my money elsewhere.  Now, if they cap it at five a piece...........I will surely invest some money.
