So far 0.167 BTC raised, not bad but could be better. I'll buy some more tickets later today.

[jflowers]

I also will get some more later today 

Also, how will the raffle actually be performed?  Will tickets be assigned a random number and then a random number picked, traced back to the TXID and then the user?

Just wondering.

Indeed, pretty much as you described. I did design a random selection system which I may use but pretty much the same process.

Awesome!    Great way to start a weekend. 

Thank you, I really appreciate all the work that went into making this raffle a reality; and I'm also excited at this example that demonstrates the power and potential of this technology at facilitating help - regardless of physical location.  This is only possible through hard work, and a great community of peers.  This is why I love the crypto space, the people are amazing.

No problem, It's good to see the proceeds go to a worthy cause. I am really glad how the raffle worked out.

I have friends who work in and for charities and as you say this raffle is an example that demonstrates the power and potential of cryptocurrency technology, I'll be sure to use this raffle as a live example when discussing and promoting the use of cryptocurrency technology with charities in the future.
