We have tried a variety of ways to conduct the raffle, and each has their own pros and cons. For the picnic, we are going to raffle off a lot of good stuff, cache containers, coins, gas cards, etc. Brian has already posted a list of the coins to be raffled off, and Gwyn will soon post a description of the great stuff she has to be raffled off.
Here is how the raffle will work:
Raffle tickets will be awarded as follows:
• 1 ticket per individual (given at registration)
• 1 ticket for 10 temp cache finds (per booklet)
• 1 ticket for 25 temp cache finds (per booklet)
• 1 ticket for each bingo card with a bingo
• 1 ticket for each bingo card blackout
(Maximum of 2 per booklet and 2 per bingo card.)
Essentially, what this means is that everyone has a chance to win, and people can increase their odds by finding temps and/or by playing the geocacher bingo game.
It will take a very litte effort (but some) to find 10 of the temps or get a bingo, so most people can get 3 chances pretty easy. It will be more difficult to get the maximum of 5 chances to win, as finding 25 temps will take more effort and getting a blackout is not easy either.
The hope here is that folks will “get something” for the temps, which was our feedback from the last event. Yet all those attending have a chance to win.
I am not posting this for debate or discussion of the relative merits. I just want to give people a heads up on how it is going to work and see if folks have any questions about this process.
thanks,
