Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 OK - contributions now officially closed. So... ummm... does anyone know how to run a raffle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi folks - do I have any volunteers (who didn't contribute) to help with the raffle? I've found a website that will 'do' the raffle for us and it looks like it's pretty transparent (www.randompicker.com) - I've got a file with everyone who contributed and the weightings they contributed that can just get loaded into the site (although any volunteer might have to create an account to do the raffle itself). I'd do it myself but I'm a participant in the raffle and don't want there to be a conflict of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Archer Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I genuinely don't think you should raffle the trip. You fronted the cash and should go if we somehow win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I genuinely don't think you should raffle the trip. You fronted the cash and should go if we somehow win. Thanks, but I did say I'd raffle so I'm going to go ahead. Lack of volunteers means that I'll be doing the raffle myself as time is of the essence for the LA trip (winner is announced tomorrow night for the big draw). We can organize the raffle for the Blue Sky and the t-shirt later so that will not be included in the raffle I do today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Kalamazoo, any chance you could email the organisers to ask if Aaron Paul would wear our inter milan striped away tap for the recording if we sent him one over?

Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks to RandomPicker.com, the JKB 'winner' who now gets entered into the draw for the trip to LA is... 16thMay1998 The winner of the actual 'big' draw will be announced late tomorrow night, I believe. I think that there's about a thousand to one chance of JKB winning the big draw (I read that the draw had raised around $750,000). The winner (and a partner) will get flown to LA (and picked up at the airport by Aaron Paul) for a party to watch the final episode of Breaking Bad with the entire cast this weekend.

Don Draper Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Cheers, Kalamazoo; you're my new favourite human being. Passed the details on to the wife in a Skype message...and she asked who Aaron Paul was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Draper Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 In the unlikely event of a glorious victory, I'd obviously force charm him into a JTs top for a 1-5 pic. Unfortunately, my rather non-vintage collection consists of the 2010/11 home effort and the 2009/10 goalie top. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Got a nice wee e-amail from Aaron... "I want to first say thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You amazing bitches raised $1.8M for Kind Campaign. I am truly blown away and incredibly excited about the difference this is going to make in students' lives around the world. I also wanted to let you know that because you guys reached the stretch goals not once, not twice, but 4 times, we will now have 10 third place winners receiving signed Hazmat suits and gas masks, 4 second place winners who will be flying out to LA to attend the finale, and of course the one grand prize winner who is going to be my new best friend. We are actively processing through all the entries now and will begin reaching out to winners at 6pm PST. We'll need to wait for them to respond and as soon as we get confirmation, we will then do the announcements via email as well as Omaze's Facebook and Twitter. So thank you again for your patience and your incredible generosity. And I look forward to meeting one of you at the finale! Best, Aaron" #prayfor16thMay1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Looking at Omaze's Facebook page, there's a lot of angry punters out there. Quite a few people are claiming that they entered the draw but weren't included in the drawing (you're able to confirm the number of entries you had via random.org who did the actual selection). Anyway, I can confirm that we did indeed have 150 entries (which we paid $750 for), which is what we should have had.

Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 They think it's all over... ...it isn't, now This is from the Omaze Facebook page: "Dear Omazing Donors, It came to our attention this morning that there was a glitch while drawing the winners for Aaron's experience to support Kind Campaign that resulted in some entries being unintentionally left out. We are incredibly sorry about this - your overwhelming support that came in for Aaron and Kind Campaign was like nothing we've ever experienced and it clearly resulted in some er...rors. We're a small company that strives daily to do-good in this world and we'd like to make this right. In order to do so, we are going to hold a whole new drawing to make sure everyone is included. Which means there will be another grand prize winner, four more second place winners, and 10 more third place winners! We are currently working to double and triple check that everyone is included. As soon as that process is secure we will announce the additional winners. Again we are very sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. The outpouring you have all show towards Aaron and Kind Campaign is truly remarkable. And we are excited that there will now be double the winners participating in the finale! Best, Matt Pohlson Co-Founder, Omaze" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalamazoo Jambo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) . When's our own raffle going to be again? I'll do the raffles for the autographed Blue Sky and the autographed t-shirt this weekend. I don't yet have the actual items in my possession though - might still be weeks until I get them. Edit: I'll do a raffle for one winner who can then choose either the Blue Sky or the t-shirt. Once that person has decided on their prize, I'll do the second raffle.
