so... people who donated things for auctions get entries will into giveaway too? AWESOME!
Is it one entry per donation/auction or maybe it depends on the money the auction earned?

Depends on the final auction price.

I think that past winners should be eligible. It's a relatively small active community, and as long as the drawing remains a "blind" drawing, I wouldn't want to discourage past winners from participating by having them be ineligible.

Currently past winners can win the GP.
Had Ari_Racing won 2 or 3 years in a row; we'd probably adjust the rules.

HA! It's been a long time since I won the gran prize (2009). And I didn't win any other prizes from that moment on.

If I drew the winner and Bill won 3 years in a row, people would bitch.
At the Sarasota event, Ari won 3 or 4, perhaps 5 in a row. After the second one, there was a collective groan as he (fairly) won two more.
A bit like Johhny Smith on a roll....

If I remember correctly, there were 6 in a row. But later I didn't win anything at the event. Nevertheless, I was really lucky. I remember only one other time when I won 6 prizes in a row, and I was 11 years old, so it was loooong ago.

There's one naughty cartoon I saw once about someone that wins everything. In the last picture, a male prostitute draws a f*ck...

[Meagan J]

sorry if I missed it somewhere, but when is the drawing?

In the next day or so, I'll be announcing the specific book we will submit to Mr. King for our Grand Prize winner's personal inscription.....

Spill it man...inquiring minds want to know.

Our table killed it. You won several, I won one prize and Shac's daughter won a couple, including the grand prize.

I think I was at that table too. It's a bit of a blur now... but I won a Grant Gunslinger flyer.

Well, we have extended the auction period a bit and RF has quite a bit of tabulating to do so I would guess early, June.

[Meagan J]

what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Randall Flagg]

Ok. The last two auction items went up just a few minutes ago.
They are 5 day auctions, so that we can wrap this up by 5/26/2015.

The donation period ended 5/19/2015.

I'm working on the accounting to create the tickets for the drawing.

Info on drawing to come soon.

How much money did we raise this year so far???????

[Randall Flagg]

How much money did we raise this year so far???????

$16,001. Just like the header says.
We have 3 auctions that haven't ended yet, and thus their totals are not included.
Also not included (deducted) are the shipping expenses for the 8 prizes (and the Grand Prize to and from King's office.)
