The Cerebus #2 raffle officially had 16 donations totaling $690.
Not too shabby.
And the winner is #9!
Huzzah!
The winner will be contacted shortly -- and there will be much rejoicing.
Next up is going through my box of Cerebus extras and figuring out what is next on the raffle list.
Before we return to the regularly scheduled programming, let me ask this:
How do folks feel about allowing donors to purchase multiple raffle "tickets"?
In other words, $25 gets you one raffle ticket. $100 gets you four raffle tickets!
The advantage is that I can raise more money for the Strange Death of Alex Raymond GoFundMe. The potential disadvantage is that that wealthier donors can get more chances to win.
Thoughts?

Just the GoFundMe Facts, Ma'am

- If you have not donated > $5+ donation grants access to all 93 pages and all pages moving forward
- If you have donated, thank you, but if you want to donate monthly, GoFundMe does not offer that option, so please do so as we are in the middle of month #7 of Year 2.

I say let's allow multiple raffle tickets. Especially if the giveaway items are consistently awesome.
Well, is there an "unfair Internet advantage" where long time donors can have extra tickets?

Seems to me any 'wealthy donors' are likely to already have whatever you've got to offer, Jen.
So perhaps: first raffle ticket purchase is $25, each subsequent raffle ticket purchase is $5 more: 30, 35, 40, and so on.
But yeah, that's pretty unwieldy.
You certainly managed to raise much more via raffle than the issue would've brought on the 'open market' -- and I'd expect Dave will have some bonus matter to send along to lucky #9 as well. He is certainly generous in that way!

The idea of a raffle is to raise money. Buying more tickets doesn’t guarantee a win, it just increases the chance of winning, unless everybody buys more. Even if you buy one ticket, you have a chance to win, which is just as big or small as the chance for every other single ticket.
Perhaps if you notice in the long run that a) the amount raised decreases significantly because people get discouraged, or b) it turnster out it actually IS the same person winning each time; that might be the time to make a change.
I’m not certain this is a good idea from a fundraising persective, but maybe you allow multiple tickets, but part of the deal for buying multiple tickets is that IF you win, you are excluded from next sweepstake, to give other participants a bigger chance (assuming it is always the same people buying in bulk.)
This is starting to sound familiar.
