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!
