I'm also a big fan of these raffles ... I'm anxiously awaiting June because that's when one of the ones that I've recenently bought starts. I have horrible luck with these, though. Bruce ... who's doing the year long one? That sounds good ... and are they actually selling 10K tickets, or is it assumed that there will be days without winners. Most of the places I deal with either do a regular raffle or the daily number style, rather than the pick-4. All the guns go out (the tickets sell out FAST!!) but on the 365/6 style for a 4 digit, some could go unclaimed.
I've often bought gun lottery tickets from fire companies and ambulance squads, although most of them have been from various gun clubs. I don't see any problems with having a gun raffle for fundraising, just so long as there are prize options that allow for cash if the winner can't pass PICS.
