50/50 NIL drawing

[Bullldawg78]

Anyone else get this email? The "State Sweepstakes" it's basically a 50/50 drawing up to $300,000 drawing is November 30th. Seems like a strange look for a way to raise NIL money? But may be a great idea 200 tickets are only $200! Thoughts?

I think is it awesome!

 

[dawgstudent]

I like it.

 

[Handsome Jimmy]

Pretty cool idea.

I like it. I do these 50/50 raffles every time I go to baseball game in St. Louis. I never win but I like doing it.

Seems like a pretty good deal. Everyone should buy some so we can buy a decent OL. And then maybe a six packer will win.

If it’s Dawg Student, he won’t tell us but will end up with some new TVs.

Looks to only be open to Mississippi residents. Wonder how strictly that’s enforced

So, if you win, would you give it all back for nil, some of it, or hell naw I ain’t giving ‘em nothing?

Same for me, do it during game day, walk around the Junction, then it only takes about 4 people to make 1 lap through the stadium. Sell them at $10 a piece with no limit to the number purchased.

Yeah, the rules say you have to be in MS at the time of purchase, but don’t clarify how that’s tracked. I live in TN so will wait until they give some clarity.

I’m with @HotMop. This is a game day activity. $2 a ticket and unlimited. Then you post on the video board the running total ads (“hey fans, buy your 50-50 tickets as you could walk away with winnings of $x. The more you buy, the more potential winnings and support for the university you provide! Hail state!”). I’ve seen at other pro events and the total has been up to $100k!

I've seen that amount at baseball games and they have 82 home games. We only have 8 so we could push it big time, start at the tailgate and continue through the game.

Is there a reason they’re capping it at $300K?

 

[prdubya]

Anybody win the drawing? Was supposed to be tonight 11/30.

 

[FreeDawg]

Can we do 10 more and get an OL?

 

[civildawg88]

We should do this at every athletic event

 

[Anon2444666666]

It was prob a scam

Let the Bulldog Club know! Think this was a test run. Arkansadoes something similar and has raised >$500k for their version of Bulldog Club so far this year: https://razorbackraffle.com/winners

They did one for a 3 day home baseball series and the winning pot was $140k to a fan. We should be able to do that!

@dawgstudent would have a whole house made of TVs for that much.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

We should open a casino. Not joking

Would that anger or finally soothe the dead injuns under all our playing fields?? Haha

The prize was up to $5000 this morning... sounds like it wasn't very popular
