DCS Raffle Car for 2016 (Tickets)

[Rich W]

What day is the cutoff for buying tickets?

Cut-off for Tickets is based on a number of factors, so the date is not set in advance.

Ideally, the cut-off day is when we "sell out" of the 1,000 allocated raffle car tickets.

All Raffle Car Ticket sales are online and we do not sell any Raffle Tickets "in person".

Since we have had a few errors by people buying tickets and manual adjustments
were needed, we cannot "automatically" stop ticket sales via the program accessing
the database, so sales are ended manually once at least 1,000 valid tickets are sold.

So, cut-off could be as early as this weekend or as late as the day of the drawing.

We prefer that we sell out in advance, however, if we do not sell out in advance, we
will most likely sell tickets until the tentative deadline of Noon (CST) on July 22nd.

Only about two weeks left until DCS 2016, so make sure to buy your raffle tickets.

The more raffle tickets you buy, the better your chances are to Win This DeLorean !!

How many raffle tickets have been sold?

How many raffle tickets have been sold?

Sorry, only ballpark numbers, based on estimates from over this past weekend.

Over 700 had been sold as of July 4th, but more sold since that time.

There are at least a few hundred tickets left for the 2016 DeLorean Raffle Car.

For those of you on the fence, this is not only a great looking and driving DeLorean,
the funds also help pay for the travel expenses for the VIP Guests at DCS 2016 and
we have quite a few this time around, including a few from across the big pond.
Some of the funds have also helped to keep other DCS Registration costs down.

Remember, the more Raffle Car Tickets you buy,
the better your chances are to Win This DeLorean !!

Just curious... I bought a ticket, but there's no number like 1 to 1000 on it, just a big long 15 digit number with a dash in it... is that how it should be? Anyone know? Sometimes my adblock messes with pop-ups. I don't want to be missing out!

Raffle Ticket Database generates a specific number based on an algorithm, to help discourage possible counterfeiting.

The same Raffle Ticker Databse program was used with the 2015 DeLorean Raffle Car as well.

Cool. Thanks Rich. I did notice a certain association in the pattern though. But I was just not sure that it should be that way. I thought I had seen someone post they had a certain ticket number.

I will leave my "final answer" on this topic as "Yes".

It's one of those things you do not want to say too much about, otherwise someone may see it as a "challenge"
if they have little else to do or if they are looking to cause chaos. The number is there to help confirm identity.

The Raffle Tickets that are used for the Raffle Car Drawing are similar to a custom version of the two-row tickets
you can buy for other raffles. The one you receive via email is like the "Keep this Coupon" side of the two-rows.
