Win a Presidential plane...

[shoreno]

i read that the 2 year service is free so i will use the plane for two year and then after that , i will dispose it for a much lower price so that i can easily find a buyer  . the price is negotiable but that wont hurt me too much because it can for sure cost over a million dollar .  a single million dollar will be enough for me to live for a long time

but that is all, if i win . im not expecting to win but i still give it a go and gamble some bucks for a ticket entry

I wouldn't mind buying a ticket of course, because I know the proceeds will be used to build projects that would (hopefully) help the needy. If I win, well, I'll cross the bridge when I get there.

Even if I won it, where would I get the money to house it, maintain it, fly it, etc? I guess that I can always re-sell it :-)

I might also end up reselling it if I win. Or perhaps rent it. Either way, the possible winner of this lottery will most probably not own and use it. This is probably changing hands right after it is being turned over to the winner.

I am imagining a funny situation in which the winner is an ordinary citizen and he will be awarded with the key, certificates, and other necessary documents and will be told, "All right, congratulations! You may now claim it right now. Leaving it in this terminal would cost you this amount daily." LOL!

It said a year, not 2 years.

I could use that for some time, I could let people to board that and be paid for it. Who would say no to that, they are riding a presidential plane. I don't know why the president did not accept the $125 offer, I think they really want to get an additional $20M out of it. I think they are desperate at this point, they really needed it.

[kotajikikox]

is this also available for other countries?or exclusive for Mexican?

this is one Big lottery if happens since the raffle only consist of 6 million entries so the chance of winning is higher than a Lottery in with billions of combinations.

They might have a profit of 20M from it, so great.

Though, the problem here is price of the ticket. It costs $25 which is in Mexican peso is equivalent to 500. There might be some people who would spend a lot of money for that but I don't think that those 6M tickets will be sold out. Maybe 3 million can be sold, I don't know still, that is a huge risk. I think if that would be raffled here, people will just line up yelling YOLO, that is a presidential plane.

i think that is only estimated ticket to be sell but maybe they will only look for at least 3-4 million and go on the raffle.

If the money from selling the plane can be an additional income for the country, then I think Andres can sell that plane using the lottery. But if the plane will be used for his private thing, then that is wrong. Maybe I will try my luck and buy the tickets, and if I am the winner, maybe I will sell it on eBay, or I will use the auction market to get the highest buyer. I know that I can pay the services even if Andres gives me 5 years for free, so that makes me sell that plane.

[peter0425]

what will ordinary people do if they won the raffle?sell to third parties that will offer more than below half of the original price?
but i think they will be succeed on that offering because those millionaire will only gamble at least hundred thousand of dollars to have a chance winning that not like when ANDRES is offering to sell the price is too high but in gambling that would be more cheaper since gambler can afford losing million dollar in table then why not trying this Presidential plane?

I think it will be the exact one.

Based on the article, he is also seeking help, and I think that is enough to say that a lot of people will also buy the ticket. I said that it might not sell but maybe they can think about two things, they have a chance of winning a plane that may cost $130M and they also helped the country.

[Ailmand]

The odds of winning is really slim, if ever I'll win it it will be difficult to maintain or even sell it for money. I might try my luck in lottery since it will only cost 25$ just for fun. Who ever wins the plane is lucky, it's an unusual prize for a lottery.

[coin-investor]

Mexico could raffle his presidential plane, the idea is to sell 6M tickets of $25 dollars each one, and the winner gets a presidential plane evaluated in $130 million.

This crazy idea is because the Mexican president wan to sell the plane to spend the money on other projects.

What do you think would you buy a ticket?

Why not I love lottery but they should have a free park on a hangar, I'm planning to sell this if I win as I cannot maintain it I don't want to spend on its parking and I don't know how to fly this too, I'm pretty sure many will take this opportunity, they will be helping their government for their projects if they bought a ticket.

$25 sounds like a lot of money! I mean,,, I do not know Mexico very well but I am sure they earn like we do in Asia,,, so for me $25 is a really big amount of money. And with all the corruption there would I dare to buy a ticket knowing probably someone already knows he is the winner?

$130 million plane probably sells for a few million though so I guess it is a lot of money!

[Ayiranorea]

The plan is really good, as the ticket money is spend on other projects. The lucky one gets it, because a large number of people will try to buy tickets and examine the luck. If a common joe wins, then the only possibility is to resell the plane or else need to make tie up with some other flight operating firms. Instantly a common joe can't easily make arrangements to park an airplane.

i think mexico is more richer than on most asian countries so 25 usd with them will look cheap but for us who are minimum earner 25 usd is now a large amount and we will think twice if we will risk this amount for a ticket  . but i dont know if their govt is corrupt or not   , i still do a research then before i decide to join if ever i have a spare 25 usd  . presidential plane sounds like promising and too good to be true to me  , so im still skeptical with this  .

As per my understanding, this offer is only for the Mexico citizens ?
If this was available for my country, i would have defiantly spent the 25$ and who knows i could be the winner of this great presidential plane.

[BitcoinsGreat]

Lets do some math.

6M tickets x $25/ticket = $150M then thats already a 20M profit. Well thats how business works.

No one can stop you if you do sell out your assets/properties etc. No matter what the cause is.
Asking if i would buy a ticket? No. its better to save it up yet we do know on having out of 6M chances.

That's a super idea and i think it opens up a lot of ideas of gathering funds at a government level. By this way, the mexcian government can buy a new place and still get a 20M profit. That's a super idea provided we have 6M tickets sold. Any idea if all the tickets are not sold, will they still hold this contest or return the people's ticket ?

If I'm a Mexican I will definitely bet imagine $25 for a Presidential plane if you hit a jackpot, if I win this I could rent this to airplanes and I can travel on air free for lifetime, I'm sure Mexicans will be excited to be part of this lottery, I never read a Presidential plane going on a lottery.
I think this is the first.

I do not think the lottery company will find it difficult to sell all tickets, If the event is promoted to the media, they will be very popular with local gamblers!!!  Knowing that the population of Mexico exceeds 120 million people. Luck will be the influencing factor in the Grand Prix drawing

[FlightyPouch]

I would love to buy a ticket. I read the article and I think it is not that the government of Mexico is wanting to earn money from it, it is just that they needed it. It is not the chance of winning a luxurious presidential airplane but the chance to help the country in a small way. I think the lottery tickets will be sold out because of that.

[nickenburg]

That is a pretty good idea from the govenment of mexico it would be really hard to sell a 2nd hand plane for 130m, that why the government is trying to do this lottery and atleast make some money back.
But for the people who enter this is going to be pretty bad, a normal person in Mexico what are they gonna do with such a plane?
You are not gonna sell it easily maybe far under the price it is worth, I guess if you can sell it for a few million it will be good.
But just think of the cost a airplane has, to just fly somewhere else it will cost a lot and a normal person in Mexico probably cant pay that.

[Eclipse26]

I'm not good at math but imagine the small probability you have to win that presidential plane. I don't know why is has to be done that way when they can just sell it or what. Rather than selling tickets and who'll ever win it, gets it. It's those rich people who will also buy tickets for this one.
It's the government we are talking about and for sure they can sell it who wants to buy it rather than doing a sort of raffle. They can sell it to other countries.

[DoublerHunter]

A lottery again has a slim chance that you will win but if the ticket is cheap I can spend what I can afford to buy tickets. If I where in Mexico? of course, I will try my luck with that opportunity given. Because probably who knows you will be given a chance to hit the jackpot and own t5hat plane. The problem is you can't fly it on your own because you dont have a landing base for your plane, I have doubt that it will probably sell to others if you can afford to maintain the expenses of a plane.
