A long time ago the Kalispell tribe was raffling off a buffalo hunt on their reservation. Tickets were 20 bucks a chance I threw 40 into the pot. the state determined that they couldn't have any chances over a dollar so instead of 2 I had 40. I didn't win but during the late buck over here I was over around when they had the harvest. I stopped by to watch the festivities. the winner was made a honorary tribal member for the day. The tribal medicine person blessed the shooter's weapon and then he climbed into the ceremonial jeep. He was transported out to where the unlucky buffalo was minding his own business. The shooter got all lined up over the fence rail. When he shot the noise was quite loud the winner was awarded 1/2 the buffalo.
Still the least expensive raffle is still the Troy Lions Club Raffle. Its 5 bucks a chance and they sell over 8k chances every year. Perhaps the Yakima's could use that as a guideline for their raffle. I'm sure if the cost was less they would get more participant's.
