Contest Details
During the month of July we will be selling raffle tickets to win this iPod. You can get your tickets at any time until the end of July. In the beginning of August (the 1 year anniversary) i will be releasing a video podcast where i sill draw the winner and announce who it is.

How to Enter
From today until 11:59 Eastern on July 31st you can buy raffle tickets for $5 each.
This will work like a normal raffle only electronically. Every ticket you buy will be one E-Ticket, and another chance to win. You can buy as many tickets as you want.

How the winner will be chosen
After the contest closes, i will take a list with all the contest entries. this list will be cut up and placed into a container. at this point i will be working with my daughter who will draw the lucky winner. The entire process will be video taped. only the final drawing will be released as an episode, but i will have the entire video available to anyone who wished to confirm the validity of the drawing process.

cashier check not accepted?

[Rob]

sorry, due to reducing overhead, only through paypal.
however, using paypal, you can make payment with all major credit cards or directly from checking or savings account as an E-Check.

not cheaper, but easier for me to manage. Having all the info in one place allows me one place to keep track of things, and an easy way to check and double check the accuracy of peoples information against my own records
