If they sell them all which I’d be surprised if they did.
I assume they are licensed to be running these raffles
Johnny bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day. The next day, the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry, but I have some bad news. The donkey died.”
“Well, then, just give me my money back,” said Johnny.
“Can’t do that,” replied the farmer. “I went and spent it already.”
“OK, then. Just unload the donkey.”
“What ya gonna do with him?”
“I’m going to raffle him off.”
“You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!”
“Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”
A month later the farmer met up with Johnny and asked, “Whatever happened with that dead donkey?”
“I raffled him off. I sold five hundred tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.”
“Didn’t anyone complain?” asked the farmer.
“Just the guy who won,” said Johnny. “So I gave him his two dollars back
Same person did it with a ps5 recently. They know who they are.
Taking advantage of those desperate to get gifts for Christmas who need a bit of luck winning something.
A few hundred less after they’ve paid tax… 😐
Yeah but 30 euro is a lot to enter so I would doubt they sold all the tickets.
What is this nonsense
Have heard stories from friends who work in different big offices of people doing this in work. They’ll go buy a tv or something on sale for €300/€400. Something appealing like Sony or Samsung. Bring it into work and sell tickets for €10 each and only sell 60 tickets. Handy €300 quid.
These raffles make sense when it’s a rare item like a escort or a ps5. Items with a face value are only attractive to people who ordinarily couldn’t afford them and don’t understand probability.
Am I getting this right?
30 to enter a 47/1 chance of winning. But you only win what amounts to a 7/1 ish pot?
“I’ll take 14 numbers please..!”
“That’s €420..”
“I can’t lose..”
“unfortunately no winners this week, come back next week as we play “how to rip off morons” “
