The raffle will occur on time, regardless of how many tickets will be sold. so far there are 4 entries. (updated 8/25/2011 10:41 PM CST)Rules + Prize: entry ticket is 1 BTC Up to 20 raffle tickets will be sold. Drawing occurs when the 20th ticket has sold or 1 week from original (this) post, whichever comes first. I will post the number of tickets available after processing each ticket purchase to keep everyone up to date. To purchase a ticket, please PM me and I will give you an address to send your 1 BTC to. When you send the BTC, tell me what your sending address is so I can associate your nickname with the sending address. I will use your nickname and enter them into third-party draw service provided bu rangom.org random.org will pick a winner and the results are public. I will PM the winner for shipping address. I will not ship outside of US, so if you are not in US, please don't buy a ticket. The card is a 5830 with the bracket clipped of at the bottom. you get everything it came with. if you care about the bracket being clipped off, please don't buy a ticket. this card was used for a few days until I upgraded to 5850s. Here are the pics: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi54.tinypic.com%2Ffw3eb6.jpg&t=665&c=IeRAska05YCAdQ) <br> ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi56.tinypic.com%2F25gh1eo.jpg&t=665&c=Szg-WAhYqJEJXw)

I'd consider entering if you changed your draw method to something more open. Perhaps something similar to bitlotto's method, which can be seen here: http://bitlotto.com/details.html. That way we can all be sure you're not manipulating the results.

I won't be involved in results. i will submit all entrants to random.org (3rd party) and they pick a winner randomly. http://www.random.org/draws/bitlotto seems to be about sending winnings to a bitcoin address (oversimplified overview). I can't send a 5830 to a bitcoin address... or am I missing your point here?

Because each entry into your lottery costs 1 BTC, then each entry will have a corresponding transaction ID. That's all you need in order to use Bitlotto's method. Just send the card to the sender of the transaction that wins. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I can have several people here claiming that they sent 1 btc from some address to my address once the winning transaction is announced. How do I solve this?

You'd have the same problem if you used random.org, but thankfully there's a solution. Why don't you give each user a different address to send the BTC to?

I was planning on using a different address for payment for each entrant.
I guess I'm just not really understanding how to run a raffle using the method you are suggesting... spell it out for me please.
I'm just gonna use random.org and so that ppl don't think there's hanky panky, I can video capture my screen when raffle winner is picked by random.org and post it on youtube. does this satisfy you?

A good point was brought up. Time limit.
So, the raffle will go on regardless of how many tickets have been bought by exactly 7 days from the time of the first post. Good luck! First ticket sold. It's on.

I was trying to fit it into an 8 year old dell system and i had to clip the bottom off to make it fit into the case. ended up replacing all my 5830s with 5850s, so don't need this card anymore.
