I'm posting the link to the sweepstakes to everyone I know and on Facebook (I normally never do that), I've already got a couple family members to buy an entry. Get the word out, share on your favorite social media sites, let's get this last drawing sold out, it's my only chance to ever get a NIB!
I also hope they offer donations in lieu of a refund should it not sell out. But let's not think that way, we need to get the kids 1 more pin!
Quoted from Bax1:Just curious. What happens if last drawing does not sell out?
Refunds that most will promptly donate to Project Pinball.
I hope some rich guy buys any remaining entries at the last minute so another hospital can get a new pin. I really hope they can do one last drawing, It would make the best xmas for the winner.
The TWDLE is a separate sweepstake. It will be drawn whenever it sells out. It does not have to sell out by any particular date.
We can easily sell out this last Pro before the Main Sweepstakes ends on the 21st. I am about to buy two more myself. So everyone buy one more Pro ticket right now and then buy an LE too while you are at it!
Here is the regular Pro Sweepstakes. It ends on Dec 21st. Lets sell it out!!

Here is the The Walking Dead LE Sweepstakes. It ends whenever it sells out:

Great idea John! I just bought another pro sticker. Hoping to win Iron Man VE.
Quoted from golfingdad1:Come on guys let's get this final sweepstakes filled up.
Yes, Please! I would love a chance at winning this thing!
Quoted from ZenTron:Drawing 6 has been sold out but not drawn yet? Please confirm..
thanks!
They all get drawn at the same time, but only if they sell out. I think it's Dec 21?
Edit, Corrected Date.
Quoted from ZenTron:Drawing 6 has been sold out but not drawn yet? Please confirm..
thanks!
Website lists drawing on Dec 21st. I don't think I can pitch in to #7 at this time. Christmas gets expensive with three kids and all. If they keep this up, I will contribute more in the future. I like the idea of being able to choose your Pro game and not locked into one particular LE game.
C'mon guys , heck my mom bought one.
its tax deductible, give $50 to Uncle Sam or $50 to the kids to play, and it promotes our hobby in a very positive way not to mention a SWEET Christmas present for one of us.
LETS GET THIS DONE !!!!!
Quoted from golfingdad1:its tax deductible
Are you a cpa? From what I can tell, raffles are generally not deductible.
I have purchased ~ 7 entries, so please don't take my comment as not supporting the project.
Quoted from John_I:I just now bought two for Drawing 7 and it is up to 40%. Keep them coming!
Quoted from fiberdude120:I have worked in the Hartford Childrens hospital in the past so I am in.
Thank you guys...

don't derail this,
Why would you think I was saying you were not supporting this, Where ?
Thanks for your support .

not trying to derail - you said its tax deductible - I think that's not true and an important part, so I was asking you to back that up. I just didn't want you to take my question/comment the wrong way.

Never even read your comment.
I guess anything could be tax deductible, if you don't mind a flag from the IRS. Raffles are definitely excluded from being a deductible item. As another example, a St Jude Dream Home raffle clearly states this.
My bad, I thought it would be unless you were the actual winner.
Moving on , it's for the kids right?
Just five minutes ago received an email that a friend of ours , Larry , who is ten years old was going home today from the hospital after his latest battle against leukemia . He has been fighting for 3 years or so. So glad to hear he will be home for the Holidays and doing better.
Quoted from John_I:Just a couple more days! Let's finish this off!!!
Gonna need a major push to get 112 entries in 2-3 days.
Although since this might be the last one for the moment (not counting the LE), and if this is to fund getting a machine for the children, its practically funded. They could buy out their own remaining tickets and if they win, just give that machine that they "won" to the children!
Edit... nevermind. I guess the problem arrises if they don't win.... I think I need another cup of coffee...
Please proceed and ignore me lol
Half way there...101 tickets need to be sold in three days guys...it can be done, so lets do it for the children! Just think, all these pins going into hospitals will bring joy and smiles to the kids and brighten their days and their stays! Merry Christmas!
Bought 2, gonna link it up on Facebook, hope it fills, I would buy 2 more if they were the last two for the drawing.
I just spammed the crap out of facebook, sent to Vintage VW club of America with 15k members. VW people are the best, I'm sure they will step up. Also posted to just about every group I belong to. I never share posts, so hopefully they will cut me some slack on the spam.
Quoted from NextoPin:Umm, am I just realized it's only 1 DAY LEFT!!!!!!! Entries end TOMORROW according to the website!
Yes, hence the rush to fill #7 
I'm in...again. I'm just happy that some kids in need of a brighter day will have an opportunity to escape, even if it's for a short amount of time.
Happy Holidays everyone!
I'm sure this has been asked, but...I'm about to buy a ticket and don't want to screw it up. I chose a ticket and clicked buy. It then takes me to my PayPal log in. Will Project Pinball get all my info from PayPal or do I have to fill out a separate form with all my info including phone#?
Also, if the 200 tickets aren't sold by tomorrow, can't the deadline date just be extended till the raffle sells out? I'm sure everyone who's in would prefer that as opposed to getting their money back.
Thanks guys.
