Sold RAFFLE!! Wynn Casino Tourney Chips - 300pc set (9 Viewers)

Numbers have been assigned. See post #153
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Im not in for a raffle raffle, but I'm in for fantasy Wynn raffle if anyone wants to draft runners. Raffles are obviously a skill game and I think I can get an edge in the draft.

Is it a roto draft or an auction draft? I'm curious how much @courage goes for!

 

[Chicken Rob]

$30? In.

Booked.

You want first pick or 2&3rd,

 

[Chicken Rob]

Standard snake draft. No auction.

 

[RainmanTrail]

OK, I gotta set a timer on this since we have an alternate wanting a ticket, and more than 24 hours have transpired since all 85 spots were spoken for. I will give until 6pm Pacific Time for all tickets to be paid. If they're not paid by then, I will allow @BigSlick4523 a chance at this raffle. Does that sound fair?

I'd give a little more notice. The drawing can wait another day to ensure fair notice. I'd give 24 hours from now.

 

[RainmanTrail]

OK, we're all square! Everyone has paid. Thanks again, and good luck to everyone!!! You're all winners in my book! (y) :thumbsup:

 

[RainmanTrail]

Numbers will be assigned within a few hours... I gotta go sit in rush hour traffic and get some eats first!

 

[Chicken Rob]

@bentax1978 hes assigning numbers, we gotta draft.

 

[bentax1978]

@bentax1978 hes assigning numbers, we gotta draft.

I'm currently go-karting and mini-golfing with the family. But on the other hand, there are lines. So let's get this done.

I'll take first since I took 2/3 last time.

And obviously I'll take @courage.

Pm your 2/3 and we'll continue there.

We can also go 1, 2-3-4-5-6, 7-8-9-10-11, etc to make this go faster.

 

[Ronoh]

So the draw is when?

Shit! I just realized that the numbers aren't adding up when I tried to assign everyone's numbers. I went back to the numbers log, and somehow #s 46 & 47 were duplicated, so there are two additional entries in the raffle. All have been paid for. This means that when @thyechal purchased his last two tickets, they actually would have been numbers 86 & 87. How should we handle this? I have 2 proposals, but I'd like some help in deciding how to handle it.

1. Refund thyechal as we said there would be a hard cap at 85
2. Keep his tickets in, but offer up another sample set as a consolation prize to compensate for the extra $60 in the pool

 

[Chicken Rob]

Well, the fantasy raffle teams are picked (and I got 87 total sold in my list as well) so we don't want to disrupt too much.

Obviously j/k. I'll let the actual stakeholders in the raffle decide what to do.

I like option 2

 

[RainmanTrail]

OK, I'm going to call everyone here to hope for a quick sample set vote of the stakeholders, and then we'll assign numbers. What do you guys/gals think we should do?

[stocky]

Option 2 is good for me.

 

[AllinBallin]

Option 2 sounds find to me.

 

[Fleming]

2 works for me.

 

[links_slayer]

I didn't realize this was amateur raffle hour.





J/k. Whatever's cool with me.

 

[moojersey]

I vote dump the last two entries. Keep it at 85. I need every % I can get. I need the edge. Lol

Option 1

 

[Ronoh]

Either is fine

 

[leo822]

Option 1

 

[liftapint]

Option 1

 

[RainmanTrail]

OK, I think it's only fair to the first 85 entries to keep it at 85. If anyone objected to keeping in #s 86 & 87, it wouldn't be fair as the agreement at the beginning was for 85, and I need to keep it that way.

I'm sorry @thyechal, but my error has screwed you over. I'm going to have to refund your final two entries. Good news is, you get a free sample set now as my apology.

 

[Chicken Rob]

Sure. And I get screwed over in the fantasy raffle with nothing to show for it. Bentax gets 44 to my 41 tix, and he gets courage. I'm doomed.

 

[Aaron]

I'm good with option 2
