I am testing the water to see if this would be a great idea to advance the cause to help our coin brother <3

Would you pledge $5 to Joe AKA @crazyhounddog 'Paradise Lost' fund to enter a sweepstake to win this coin?

    Let's say ...... you may increase your chances by pledging 5 X $5 = $25 for 5 entries B)

    You are right ....... of course I will send the coin to the 3rd party to ensure transparency.

    The fund already met it's potential and I think I can still advance it for a greater good.
    I suppose I could sell it and directly post the proceed but I thought about including more members into the cause while having fun <3

    Suggest checking with the host on this first. There are many legal restrictions on raffles, drawings, etc., and would not like to see good intentions caught in other things.

    Understood about your good motivations and interest. However, there are laws concerning raffles; and also, PCGS should decide if they wish to host such an activity on their message board.

    I decided NOT to go with it base on a couple well and wise advise from established members.

    Some good advises regarding legality of the whole concept may not be a good thing for our host.

    I think that taking that advice was, well, well advised.

    What are the legal implications? There are literally thousands of raffles/razzes for coins on Facebook every single day. There are even groups dedicated solely to them.

    Okay, so if you want to have another wonderful giveaway, put Mango back to work and let's have a New Year Giveaway by PF and what a coincidence, you also would like to help Joe raise more money, bless his soul, we could certainly band together again and give him a Christmas card he'd never forget!!! So post your giveaway and maybe include a link to the Best Christmas Card for CrazyHoundDog Ever and let's get to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But no, don't mention the word sweepstakes or raffle again!!!!!! :)
