Would you buy a raffle ticket to win a 25th Anniv Eagle Set?

I bought tickets to illini420's raffle (and won something) so his raffle gave me an idea. I'm responsible for my son's school raffle and it's getting harder and harder to raise money for things like this. So far the bigger items in our raffle are an Apple iPad and 1/10 oz gold eagle. But what if I sweetened the pot by including a 25th Anniversay Silver Eagle Set. Would there be enough interest from forum members to buy tickets? Tickets will be $10 each or 11 for $100. I'm trying to include only what I consider to be high-quality prizes and prizes that can be delivered to anyone living anywhere.

thanks for your input.

Just for the set or does a ticket have a chance at the AGE and ipad et all?

The raffle ticket would include the chance to win the other prizes too. There will be a minimum of five prizes (possibly more). I'm trying to figure out the details right now.

I think that you would want to post the maximum number of tickets that would be sold. Good Cause , but most people will still want to have some general idea (Expected Value)

And I personally would work my way up or down with the prizes, probably up for entertainment value's sake, but have a single ticket only eligible for one prize..
