For clarification because some seemed outraged at this raffle....This seems to be standard raffle. Pay for entry....win stuff.

He just took the step most don't and let everyone know what he would do with the money.

If it makes anyone feel better, the goal of a shop that does a raffle is to...MAKE MONEY.

If it's a manufacturer, they hold a raffle to...drum roll....MAKE MONEY.

If the raffle holder has kids, they probably spent some on them. If they have a drug habit, some on that. If they like hookers, some on that. You get the idea.

It's just not normally announced where the money goes.

One week later you get your envelope back with a letter telling you to get a PO box and place an add in the newspaper saying "Want to learn how to make up to $1000 per week working from home? Send $20 and a self addressed stamped envelope to PO Box XXXX"

Now that he has stated, very publicly, that it is for personal gain, he has a tax issue. Also, this isn't a raffle, it's an interstate gambling proposition for profit.

"BUY A TICKET AND WIN PRIZES!" IS ILLEGAL, unless you are a non profit organization, Native American or a Government.

I always thought he was a harmless gob...he just screwed himself!

His only salvation will be to announce he is donating the money to a charity!

Fug him. Cut back on the snacks then he can afford a new bike. The fat **** doesn't even have kids and he can't afford a used bike. It's called natural selection, god doesn't want you on the road. I've been riding for 35 years and all but my first KDX80, I paid for myself. What the hell happened to hard work. When I was 15 I cut grass all summer long. 5 days a week, just to earn enough to buy a CR125. I may be an idiot, but it's more fun when you've earned it.
