Can't wait for the Pro drawing, I really want a GotG so bad!!!!!!!
Quoted from fosaisu:Premium’s sold out, Pro’s at 85%. Love how these things snowball at the end!
Not sure it snowballed, as much as Jeff S. either REALLY wants to win or REALLY loves the charity (or both!). I'd wish him luck, but the odds are already in his favor and I really want to win one of these times.
Quoted from bigduke6:When will the drawling take place if the all the tickets are sold?
After they verify all the tickets they send and email and usually post here when the drawing is. Also usually posted on their FB
I grabbed a couple of Pro tickets before the end. Normally I'm not a Pro buyer. GOTG is one game that I don't think I would mind having the Pro.
Quoted from John_I:I grabbed a couple of Pro tickets before the end. Normally I'm not a Pro buyer. GOTG is one game that I don't think I would mind having the Pro.
Good luck!
For the first time ever Project Pinball has sold out both raffles at the same time! This is incredible and just shows us all the supporters we have out there! Thank you all so much for making this possible! Everyone's immense support means the world to all of us here at The Project Pinball Charity!
We will be announcing when the live drawing for both raffles will be taking place as soon as we confirm all the entries!
Stay tuned for updates!
Quoted from Tjohejsan:Hello!
I supose I must live in usa to be able to buy a ticket and have a chance on a new pinball?
Wait for the official answer but I think in the past they have been able to work out something if you agree to cover the extra shipping costs.
Hi,I noticed this post started 3 years ago.is this raffle an every year event.could you please explain to all of us pinside members with a brief description of this charity and raffle .Thank you.p.s I would have purchased a ticket if I knew what was going on.i figured that since post was three years old.raffle and charity drive was already over.(my bad assumption.!)again thank you if you would be so kind to explain.

This charity buys pins wholesale from the manufacturers, sells raffle tickets, and uses the profits to place brand new pinball machines in children's hospitals. It gives sick children motivation to get better so that they can go play the game, and provides a brief rest from the long hours that parents and other family members spend waiting in the hospital. Project Pinball also looks for volunteers to maintain the pinball machines that they place across the country in children's hospitals so that they don't become broken down non-functioning machines. Your donation aka raffle ticket purchase is a tax deductible donation.
Great charity run by some of the nicest people that you will meet.
Thank you bluespin.and is this an every year event.? And if so what month do raffle tickets go on sale.
Quoted from pinballbrian:Thank you bluespin.and is this an every year event.? And if so what month do raffle tickets go on sale.
I would check their site for updates. They raffle of games multiple times a year.
Thank you.as I did not take post( or scrolling advertisement) , on pinside serious ,( my apologies).for thread being 3 years old. I hope this will alert other pinsiders as well,that charity and raffles are still going on .again thank you for your time.
They do multiple raffles a year. Usually when one sells out they start another one shorty afterwards. Their site has updates on the hospitals they put games in and also post updates here on pinside from time to time as well as FB.
Quoted from pinballbrian:Thank you bluespin.and is this an every year event.? And if so what month do raffle tickets go on sale.
They pretty much keep at least one going all the time. Some raffles are for a pro and 200 tickets are available at $50 per and you can choose from all pros Stern is making. Other raffles are for a premium and 200 tickets are available at $75 per and you can chose any Prem Stern is making. Occasionally more than one raffle is active. On rare occasion, raffle is for a specific LE.
Quoted from bluespin:Your donation aka raffle ticket purchase is a tax deductible donation.
I want to weigh in just to correct this. In the U.S., the IRS does NOT consider a raffle ticket tax deductible, even if the raffle is handled by a charity (they are treated as nondeductible gambling losses), if the prize you are eligible to win is worth more than the raffle's ticket price. There are tax advantages you can still take, but it involves if you report gambling winnings as well.
Here is a link to the IRS publication spelling this out (see page 6 of the PDF under "Contributions From Which You Benefit", 3rd bullet point): https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p526.pdf
Or, another site that makes it a bit simpler to understand versus reading the IRS write-up: https://finance.zacks.com/raffles-irs-donation-deduction-2796.html
I don't want anyone to get into tax trouble regarding the raffles. Note this is just about the IRS, so I'm only talking U.S. and I'm only talking Federal.
If getting a tax deduction is what someone prefers, that's okay, Project Pinball is an eligible charity and you can donate to them and claim the deduction. You just can't buy the raffle tickets and call them donations in the IRS sense.
All that said, Project Pinball Charity is a well established organization with documented progress in achieving their mission. They are quite transparent with their finances and uses of money. So feel confident either donating directly or participating via the raffle system!
Quoted from Jarbyjibbo:Sunday the 15th at 8:00pm and then 8:15pm EST it is!
So do we have some new winners?
Quoted from fosaisu:So do we have some new winners?
We do. Videos were uploaded to Youtube last night.
Got excited as my first name was one of the winners but not my last name. So close! Congrats to the winners!!
Quoted from Pale_Purple:Got excited as my first name was one of the winners but not my last name. So close! Congrats to the winners!!
When you buy your tickets, the number(s) on the Rallyup receipt and in the email that Rallyup sends is the same number(s) that is assigned to you in the drawing hopper.
Quoted from Ericc123:We do. Videos were uploaded to Youtube last night.

Pro:
Congrats to Scott and Randall!
Quoted from Monk:Anyone know what the ticket numbers were? I like to torture myself and see how close my ticket was.
They show the numbers in the videos. In at least one he grabs two numbers and you can see the one he drops back in as well -- maybe it was yours?!?
Good call as I obviously didn't watch the video. I was ticket 21. Oh well, congrats to the winners. Looks like I have to get in the next one.
