Title: [RAFFLE] Asus HD7970 DCII TOP *NEW*
Post by: server on May 25, 2012, 02:34:06 PM
***THIS RAFFLE IS CANCELED***

This weekend I would like to raffle one brand new Asus 7970 DCII TOP graphics card (http://www.guru3d.com/article/asus-radeon-hd-7970-directcu-ii-review/24). http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28686048/cool2.gif

To the first 99 people that post in this thread a valid bitcoin payment of 1 btc to 1QKKWXe19hDYkoHN9DwazWv5q7ULZV9ZEn

           http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28686048/postcount.png

The winning number will be the postcount# that matches the first number that will be drawn by the Euro Millions lottery (http://www.euro-millions.com/results.asp) after this thread had 99 posts with a valid bitcoin payment address.
I will choose the drawing date within 1 day after I received 99 payments.

Because I made post #1 myself, this number is not valid for winning and if #1 is drawn I will use the first number of the next drawing of Euro Millions lottery.

Please do not post in this thread anything else then prove of your 1 bitcoin payment.


If you have any question please contact me by pm or open another thread. Thanks.

Good luck !!

.edit1 - I will pay for shipment.

And if you didn't reach the 99 BTC point forever, everyone would lose their 1 btc right?
Do you have any rep so that we can trust you to not make away with the coins?

Yep, this. This section wasn't mean't to be the actual game itself, as those belongs in the 'games and rounds' section. I was under the impression that this is the detail thread for the game.

Hmm cablepair is raffling a $500 card for 300 btc (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=75091.0) and this is going on for months....so I thought it would be nice to raffle a $600 card for just 99 btc...

I'm active for 1.5 year in this comunity and I did not scam anyone, I thought some of you might trust me with 1 btc :-[

But for now I did not get the vibe I was expecting so... maybe tomorrow.

You can see that many people were asking for a refund due to this. ;) Having an expiration date is one of the factors I need to have in a raffle before buying a ticket as if the last tix were not sold for forever I would be left holding a worthless tix. Gigavps and Matthew did that correctly.

As for the trust, don't take it personally but the way BTC works makes me require some form of trust either in rep or escrow before dealing with anyone.

Thanks for your input... :) and I'm still in the mood for a nice raffle !

I think it's a great way to promote the use of bitcoins and I really enjoyed the raffles of Giga and Matt.

Will try a new raffle with refund guaranty if tickets not sell within x-weeks.

I'm always up for a raffle.

Your original idea would not have worked, however. Euro Millions uses numbers 1-50; therefore, posts 51-99 could never have won.

Raising the ticket price to 2 btc would work, but I think most people prefer tickets under 1 btc.
