    As you might tell I am no fan of the “raffle gun” concept but it seems ATRS is on with their valuations at least— same can’t be said for all dealers.
    Typically the total value of tickets is about 1.3x the total value of guns retail. I think this one is similar. No matter which sticker draw you do, your expected value per dollar spent is about the same. Its the unlimited ticket sales ones that are sketch.

    Is there a cap on tickets for this draw, or deadline with unlimited sales available?
    I may be an A$$hole, but at least I'm not a hypocrite.

    It's about funding their legal action if I'm.not.mistaken which is VERY worthy cause many of us have donated without expecting to win something in return as it benefits the entire community

    No tickets involved. With the purchase of select products you are entered into a promotional giveaway, or you can enter via written essay without a purchase. That being said, there is no tickets, so no cap either, that would be a pyramid scheme (or so I was told by AGLC). We estimate the odds that we anticipate based on the perceived value of prizes, but unlike some others, the extra 24 hours between the entry's closing, and the draw occurring, allows us to identify what the true numbers are compared to the estimated numbers and add additional prizes as necessary to stay honest to our estimate and our supporters.

    It is the definition of a lottery. I like lotteries and buy into them all the time. But this is not a giveaway lol.
    It is not the definition of a lottery, AGLC has been involuntarily consulted, and it is a promotional giveaway where you have multiple options to enter the contest and a skill testing question is required in order to claim a prize.

    This is the perfect summary here. We got tired of just asking people to donate to our legal fight, ALL of the donations are much appreciated but selling these products (stickers) makes it a bit more fun and creates brand recognition (stickers) and brings awareness to our fight.
