I have also updated this post to include the provenance of this set. Thanks to @justsomedude and his detective skills, we now know the history behind this incredibly rare set! Scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the details!

OK, here we go! It's Wynn season, and that means it's time for a raffle of the Wynn Casino Tournament Holy Grail set! Apache refers to these chips as "the best Tournament chips ever made", or as I prefer to call it; 10 stacks of clay sex. Hey, I gotta recoup some of my investment on these babies, and you know you want them! Who can resist brand new Paulson No Molds from The Wynn Casino? (y) :thumbsup:

I've tried to put together the best of the best for this set. These chips are minty fresh and are a perfect breakdown for a single table tournament with enough chips for color-ups and rebuys. This set includes the full spectrum of Wynn Tourney chips, including the rare T25s - which are so rare that they haven't even been included in most of the other sets that have sold previously!

This set includes 300 total chips, a vintage carrying case, a Wynn dealer button, and a deck of Wynn Casino cards. The breakdown is as follows:

80x - T25s
80x - T100s
80x - T500s
50x - T1000s
10x - T5000s

We will be using the California Pick 3 Daily Lottery numbers to determine the 'Wynner' (http://www.calottery.com/play/draw-games/daily-3). Each ticket will receive number ranges of equal size determined by the total number of tickets sold.

I will be selling tickets/entries at $30 each for this set. Tickets will be sold until 11:59:59 pm Pacific Time (PDT) on Thursday, July 21st or until all slots have been sold out, whichever comes first. A minimum of 60 tickets will need to be sold, with a cap at 85 tickets. If the cap is reached early, numbers will be assigned at that time and the drawing will be held the following day. If the minimum has not been reached prior to the deadline, the deadline will be extended until 60 tickets have been sold, in which case the drawing will be held the following day. If the winning number is an unassigned number, the contest will continue to roll over to the following day's lottery numbers until a winner has been determined.

Contest Rules:

- You may purchase up to 5 tickets/entries.
- Shipping will cost extra and will be insured.
- FedEx or UPS will be used for shipping as the USPS only pretends to insure packages.
- International shipping is ok, but this is a big risk, and the winner assumes all risk!
- The forum time of your posts determines ticket ordering and availability.

Payments can be sent via Bitcoin or PayPal 'Friends & Family'. IF USING PAYPAL, PLEASE ENTER YOUR FORUM USERNAME IN THE 'NOTES' FIELD AND NOTHING ELSE! DO NOT ENTER "RAFFLE" OR "PCF" IN THE NOTES AS THESE WORDS CAN FLAG THE PAYMENT FOR REVIEW IN PAYPAL.

PayPal payments should be sent to: rainmantrail on the gmail domain (the name should say Rocelyn)

If you have not paid for your entries prior to the drawing, you will not receive any numbers and will not be eligible for the prize.

Good luck everyone!!!


***************** WYNN TOURNEY SET PROVENANCE **************************

These chips were special made for the Wynn Las Vegas Casino to be used in a celebrity charity gambling event which they sponsored on May 25, 2006 in New York City. The event was held as a fundraiser for pediatric cancer research. Beyonce Knowles, Heidi Klum, and several other extremely attractive and/or wealthy celebrities were in attendance for this gambling charity event, raising over $400k for the cause!

Thanks again @justsomedude for your stellar Googling skills! (y) :thumbsup:

Side note: is the best hand... in case you were unaware

 

[MikesDad]

In for one... thanks

 

[AdamAAAA]

Sorry, I didn't realize that. Thanks for letting me know. I guess that link won't do F&F. I changed the OP so that you guys can use my email instead of the link. Nice scam PayPal, lol... It looks like they charged me for all of the payments made so far. Don't worry about it though. I'll just take the hit.

Doesn't see that you can change it, either. I just double checked mine and there's no option to swap it.

 

[Ghoti]

Shipped!

 

[acl1904]

PP F&F Payment sent.

 

[RainmanTrail]

OK, we're only 2 tickets away from the minimum. I've decided to sweeten the pot! I have a few more samples I was planning to sell, but have decided to offer them here first. Anyone who purchases 5 tickets will receive a full sample set in air-tites!!

I recently listed 10 sample sets here and they sold out in minutes! My inbox is FILLED with people asking for these. I also listed a few of the 5000s on eBay, and they sold for $64, $63, and $73 in just the past couple of days, and that's just for ONE CHIP!

Good luck chippers!!!

Silly question, but if the winner was one who purchased 5 tickets, do they get the lot plus a sample set?

 

[RainmanTrail]

Yes they would get both. Anyone who purchases 5 tickets will get a sample set, win or lose.

 

[leo822]

In for 3 more

 

[Bigkyle]

Me too, PayPal sent.

 

[liftapint]

Money sent for 5. I said I'd never do raffles. But adding on is too tempting. And if all else fails, another sample set!

 

[MatB]

Ok. F. it. 4 more for me.

$ sent

 

[leo822]

Welcome to the dark side Mel!

 

[k9dr]

OK, I can't resist a sale - I'm in for 5. If I win, I can always trade them to Mel for some "keepers".

 

[leo822]

3 spots left. Lets wrap this thing up and draw!

 

[MatB]

Git er' done.

 

[links_slayer]

Oh what the hell. I'll take one. If I bink should be an easy flip.

 

[leo822]

2 left

 

[RainmanTrail]

OK, it looks like there are only two tickets remaining. Please check to ensure that your entries are listed and accurate in post #2.

I will still honor the "pay for 5" and get a free sample set deal, but you will only receive two more raffle tickets/entries in fairness to the other entrants as there are a maximum of 85 on offer.

 

[leo822]

Wait..what?

 

[RainmanTrail]

Please make sure you have all paid for your tickets as soon as possible. I will give everyone 24 hours to make payments once all tickets are sold out before releasing them back up for grabs. I will try to get through all my PayPal payments by tomorrow. My parents just arrived from out of town and I may not have enough time tonight. Payment updates will follow as soon as I'm able.

Raffle drawing will take place the day after all payments have been received.

Ok I will take the last two entries; that will make it three total. Is that mean I still get a sample set?

 

[RainmanTrail]

Wait..what?

Since there are only two tickets left, someone with only one entry who was considering adding on 4 more might be discouraged since they can't purchase 4 more entries to get the sample set. So I'm saying they can still have the sample set if they pay the equivalent of 5 tickets even though they would only receive two more tickets in the drawing as there is a hard cap on 85 total entries and 83 are already spoken for. Make sense?

 

[leo822]

Ahhh. I'm dumb.

 

[leo822]

Super cool of you to do that Travis.

 

[RainmanTrail]

Ok I will take the last two entries; that will make it three total. Is that mean I still get a sample set?

You would need to send another $60 to get the sample set, but you wouldn't receive entries for that $60. But $60 is still cheaper than any sample sets I might sell in the future (which would be north of $100).

 

[RainmanTrail]

OK, all 85 tickets have been spoken for! Everyone has until tomorrow night to pay. I will assign your numbers after I have received all payments, and the California Daily Pick 3 lottery referenced in the OP will determine the winner in the following day. Good luck everyone!!

And don't forget to post "ONE TIME!!!"

 

[Bigkyle]

One time

 

[k9dr]

FIVE TIMES

 

[suited67]

"DOUBLE TIME" JEFF

 

[RainmanTrail]

OK, all sample sets sold out too. I'll ship them all out when the winner has been determined
