At the Las Vegas Nevada Spring Meeting, it was decided to continue this successful promotion. We hashed out a few sticky Raffle issues, created a few new guidelines as well as a few new promotional opportunities. Now it’s time to get the Raffle Rolling!

In order for us to jump-start Web Banners, and meet Print Ad deadlines and etc., we need to secure several donations immediately. Our intention is to update the USGSA Web Banners, print advertisements and email campaigns (more on these in a separate e-mail) on an ongoing basis. This way we can add each generous donation and post the Mega Raffle 2010 offering quickly.
Will Mega Raffle 2010 top last year’s donations of over $48,000?
Let’s shoot for $70,000 !
No Prize Under $2,000!
This will be the key to the New Mega Raffle Promotion.
*** Please, this Raffle will succeed in generating the same excitement, energy and (most importantly) attendance that we desire and deserve in the Exhibit Hall. We need 100% participation from our membership for optimal results.
FAQs
How will the attendees put their raffle ticket in the Mega Raffle drum?
Attendees will have to find the raffle drum in the exhibit hall as it will be located in varying USGSA member company’s booths. The drum will move hourly thorough out the hall during fill hours for maximum exposure for all members. Hints on the drums location will provided to attendees at varying times during the day.
When will the Raffles be conducted?
The Raffles will be conducted during the two (2) dedicated exhibit hours on Thursday and Friday. Thus, we will have four (4) Raffle Opportunities.
Where will the Raffles be conducted?
All raffles will be conducted in the exhibit hall. To maximize traffic, the raffle will again be a “traveling event” (Maximum of two (2) moves per Mega Raffle session) and will move to different locations within the exhibit hall to maximize traffic.
Is there a minimum donation for the Raffle?
In order to preserve the “mega” in our Mega Raffle, it was decided that $500 would be the minimum Raffle donation allowed. Additionally, the minimum prize per winner will be $2000.00. Thus, if your donation’s value is less than $2000 it will be grouped with another prize as needed to get the total prize value to at least $2000.00.
Why such a large increase in the prize size and minimum donation?
In order to reduce the time that it takes to conduct the raffle, reduce some of the distracting sound levels, reduce no show raffle pulls and to increase the excitement of the raffle. It was decided to combine the smaller minimum prizes of $500 together into one $2000 winning prize. This will reduce the number of draws and barrel moves. It will also quicken the pace keeping the excitement at frenzied level. At $70,000 in total prizes the Maximum number of winners is 35 over 4 raffle time slots with two/three possible moves of the drum reducing each event to only 8 very happy winners.
What determines the location of the Raffle Drum during raffle pulls and what other benefits are available for larger donations?
