I've decided to test the raffle waters to see if it might be a better format for selling this set due to it's high value and thus limited audience. Several members have mentioned that they would LOVE to acquire this set, but that it's just out of reach for them budget wise. I could try to sell them on eBay instead, but I'd hate to see these beauties lost to the PCF community forever, and would rather see them go to someone here that loves and appreciates them.

I have a 620 chip set that I am offering for this raffle. These are some of the most epic chips ever made in my opinion. Pick Hobson owned both the Riverside Casino & The Overland Hotel (which is why the Pick Hobson $5s and the Overland $5s are the same chip with a different inlay). I think the Overland $1s are the perfect chip for this set since they are both Hobson properties (they are also very rare and difficult to find chips). The yellow TRK spotted, inlayed fracs are some of the best chips ever made, and are extremely rare and difficult to find. These regularly fetch $15 to $20 each as singles on eBay, sometimes more.

The breakdown is as follows:

100 x 50¢ (half are mint/near mint, half very good/good)
200 x $1 (all are good/very good)
200 x $5 (mint)
100 x $25 (mint)
20 x $100 (mint - a few could use a very light cleaning if desired, but they're all minty)


I will be selling 80 75 tickets for $33 each with discounts available for purchasing multiple tickets (see details below).

RAFFLE RULES


We will be using the California Pick 3 Daily Lottery's 6:30pm numbers to determine the winner (http://www.calottery.com/play/draw-games/daily-3). Each entry will receive a range of 13 numbers (001-013, 014-026, ... , 963-975), leaving numbers 976-999, & 000 as unassigned numbers. As soon as all tickets have been spoken and paid for, numbers will be assigned at that time and the drawing will be held the following day. If the winning number is one of the unassigned numbers, the contest will roll over to the following day's lottery numbers until a winner has been determined.
  • You may purchase up to 5 tickets. The price of each additional ticket purchased drops by $1 (i.e., 1st ticket is $33, 2nd ticket is $32, 3rd is $31, 4th is $30, and 5th is $29).

UPDATE


Anyone who purchases multiple tickets will also be entered into a side raffle for a full sample set of my Lucky Buddha Club E&C mold chips & Dealer button as soon as they arrive (late June-ish). This sample set will include one of the elusive 'Missed Blind' chips (which were a late addition to my order and were not offered in my samples thread). 3D rendering provided by @Ray-Col!

OK, it looks like all 75 tickets have been spoken for! Someone is going to be the new proud owner of this EPIC set of chips!!!

If you have not yet paid, please do so ASAP so can do the drawing tomorrow and see who wins! According to my records, the following chippers have not yet paid. If you have already sent the money but believe my records are incorrect, please let me know and I will correct it.


Awaiting payment:

Paid.

So maybe 6 months ago I had a dream that I shuffled TRK chips for the first time and after doing so, colors were brighter, smells were sweeter, and my life (in that dream) was changed forever.

I still haven't handled TRK chips, but here's to hoping dreams do come true.
 
Congratulations to @liftapint for winning my side bet! :( :D

You seem to be a pretty calculating dude. I might place a side bet that your side bet, shrinking the ticket pool, and threatened cancellation were all part of your plan to begin with. If so, well done. If not, well done too, I guess?
 
So, when do I send you my mailing address to ship the chesse?...I mean chips :ROFL: :ROFLMAO::ROFL: :ROFLMAO::ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
This is not intended to be a reverse jinx. I just want to state for the record I have never won one of these raffles, nor one of Tommy's giveaways. I'm pretty much dead money in these, so take that for what it's worth.

I have never won this raffle; however, I am hoping to keep my lucky streak alive. :sneaky:
 
Good Luck to all! Envy the winner of this beautiful set. Looks like a fun Raffle with all the colorful comments.
 
6 of the past 10 numbers drawn in the lottery Travis is using for this raffle have been numbers beginning with the number 1 (100-199).

So things are looking good for Frank, Ruskba, Gear, and Jackstraw!
