VII. Here's how the Raffle will operate:

PHASE I (TICKET REGISTRATION):  completed

1. Players must complete the registration form -- all information is required. This online entry form is the ONLY acceptable means of registration - no exceptions.  Ticket price is $25.00 (U.S.) each.

2. You will receive a reply with your raffle ticket numbers.

3. PLEASE - DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY YET.  PAYMENTS WILL BE CALLED FOR AT CLOSING OF THE TICKET REGISTRATION.

The goal is to sell at least 200 tickets. The Raffle registration period is from Sunday 5-May-2002 22:00 Zulu  until Sunday 12-May-2002 22:00 Zulu).  At the time of closing  we need to have sold at least 200 tickets.  This should give all visitors a chance to play if they wish (we received complaints last time, saying the raffle closed too quickly).  As soon as we meet both requirements (be open for at least a week, and sell 200 tickets)  the registration process will be shut down. That means the ticket sales is closed.

We do a registration process ahead of the call for payments. This is to avoid the labor of having to refund all those raffle payments - in the event there's not enough interest in the rifle being raffled.   If the call for payments is made - the prizes WILL BE AWARDED.

PHASE II (TICKET PAYMENT):   ---> ACTIVE <---

1. Once the email ticket registry is closed - A notice will be posted for all ticket purchasers to send payment for their tickets.  We will also attempt to contact all registrants via email to notify them to send payment. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR EMAIL REGULARLY DURING THE RAFFLE. 

Payment can be made in one of the following ways:

• Go to http://paypal.com and send your payment to ken@aspiringtech.net
•  OR 
• Check or money order Payable to and mailed to:
  
  Aspiring Technologies
  Rifle Raffle
  P.O. Box 634
  Bristow, VA 20136

PHASE III (DRAWINGS AND AWARDS):   (NOT YET)

Once all payments are in, 4 tickets will be drawn. The first ticket will be the winner of the featured Rock Rifle.

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th! ticket holders will receive a package.  Each of these packages will contain: One Mildot Master Slide Rule, One Mildot License plate, and Two "Got Mildots..." bumper stickers.  The packages and items in them are generously donated by Bruce Robinson of Mildot Enterprises.  (Thanks Bruce!)

Other items may be added as vendors see the raffle and wish to contribute.

Ken Hunter, a Federally licensed firearms dealer will handle delivery of the rifle to the winner or the FFL holder designated by that winner. 

Miscellaneous Notes:

I. All Federal, State and Local laws apply. To win the rifle - the participant must pass the NICS Insta-check. Failure to do so will disqualify the participant with the winning ticket. If you can not pass the NICS background check required for purchase of a firearm - PLEASE DO NOT PLAY. 

II. If the winner of the featured rifle fails the background check - the holder of the 2nd ticket drawn will receive the rifle. Note: Ticket money will NOT be refunded if you fail
the background check. This pass-down will continue if necessary until we find a ticket holder eligible to legally own this rifle. 

III. Persons NOT eligible to play: 
Ken Hunter, members of his immediate family, and Paul Gallagher - President and CEO of Sub-Minute Solutions. Mr. Gallagher will be the second recipient of the raffle ticket email registry.

IV. The staff of snipercountry and all snipercountry visitors are invited to play. NO raffle players will receive or be privy to any internal communications regarding the raffle (communication blackout).

V. We are not responsible for your E-mail service, internet connection, or any other interference with your ability to play. 

VI. Names of deadbeat raffle players (those that do not pay for tickets they registered for) will be posted.

VII. We elected to sell at least 200 tickets to raise a desired sum of money. We will keep the number of tickets sold as close to 200 as possible. The reasoning for that is the larger the ticket pool - the less your chances of winning. 

VIII. The actual tickets will be pooled in a small bucket and drawn by my church Pastor. That way - I ( Ken Hunter )  only play the role of 'Raffle Operator';

IX. Response to your registration will not be immediate. Ken Hunter will service each of these requests personally - so it may be several hours before you receive an Email acknowledgement.
