    Okay Celt, I just got a raffle ticket with my (one and only) 100. credit. If I don't win my kids will go hungry. Are there any details to the drawing that I need to know?

    We kicked in $1,000 Phin Bucks so the winner gets that PLUS the total of buy in for the raffle, minus 28% "tax". If only 100 tickets are sold, the winner would get Ph$ 11,000 - 28% = $7980.00

    In real life, it would have cost you nearly 50%. I lowered the tax bracket :)

    Oh man, you don't know my kids. I'd have to pay someone to take them. Seriously. In fact last week, I had to pay someone just to spend a couple of hours with them so my wife and I could go see a movie alone.

    I would go but to be perfectly honest, the draft literally drives me up a wall! i'm too damned impatient, too nervous, etc and then me and the "captain" will go sit over in the corner somewhere and try to ease the pain !! ;) I usually tune it in and can't stand it after 3 picks or so. Last year I thought I was going nutz just waiting to get to our 9th pick. This year, it won't be so bad, the draft starts, listen to the last minute hype and then we'll make our pick. Then I'll tune out and just keep tabs, live on the net or something! :up:

    Other than that, i would only be there to par-tay!! ;)

    The odds aren't really that bad. When I bought my 10 I think there were only about 100 tickets sold.
