Hot Rods What's with all the car raffles?

  1. It depends on the vehicle being raffled,
    who is raffling it, number of tickets
    actually sold, taxes that apply, odds of
    winning, other factors involved.

    I have won lesser prizes at car raffles
    and silent bids, but it has been at car
    shows and swap meets I have personally
    attended and was present when the
    winners were announced.

    Technically, most of raffles are illegal in a lot of states. I know, cuz the state of Missouri came after me years ago when we used to do the HAMB Drags Engine raffle. Pretty bad deal… Took months to get worked out and I pay a pretty significant fine.

    The issue on social median is that there are sponsored raffles that come through as ads. I see one coming in from Petersen Museum once in a while. I'm totally out on car raffles and most other raffles for parts or junk I don't need. I rather donate to someone directly if it's for a real cause. The rest is for profit usually.
