Hurry!! Raffle drawing to be held 1/13/07
It is unfortunate that we have to say this but we have only had 30 individuals participate in the 2006 annual give-away, making their odds awesome (or yours, if you choose to join in, here at the last minute?)
The worst thing is that this was suppose to benefit our not-for-profit giving foundation (www.sfvu.com) but right now, we don't even have enough to cover our costs - that being said, we will award all 60 items, no matter what!
If you would consider participating, it sure would be appreciated as their are many worthwhile projects that will have to go un-funded unless we make a miraculous turn-around before the drawing is finalized, Saturday afternoon, January 13th, less than a week away!
Everything will be certified by an independent auditor - drawing done by neutral party, witnessed by over 150 individuals (You don't need to be present although anyone is welcome) - references available?
Again, your opportunity to get one or more of the following:
1. Lowrance GPS/Sonar Unit
2. Dual Pro Charger
3. Keel Shield
4. Lake Champlain Guide Trip with Lodging
5. Guide Trip with Art Ferguson (either Florida or Michigan, your choice?)

I bought some through paypal and haven't recieved any in the mail to tell if I won or not??
:-\' No winner here
Me either :'(
yep, I'm a loser
Did you losers :) use pay pal and if so did you get tickets in the mail to check numbers with. I haven't gotten any tickets or numbers to check.
Well the mystery is solved. I got my letter today with my numbers and I'm happy to say that I'm not a loser!!!!!! Well I guess that depends on who you talk to, but, I did have one of my numbers match. I don't know what I won because on the site it says,"The numbers listed below are in no specific order in relation to prize number sequence:" I have 10 business days to send in my number comfirmation. So, it's off to the post office tomorrow and then the wait begins to see what prize I won.
Congrats! let us know what you are the proud new owner of
Well I was notified today via email that the organization was sending me a package that should arrive in 2-9 days. Still haven't said what it is yet and because it's a package it probably rules out a trip. Drats!!! Oh well, there were a number of other items that would be nice to receive so here's hoping. I have had soup to nuts luck with drawings. One got me drafted and another won me $10,000 and became a down payment for my cabin. I'' let ya'll know when it comes.
Shoot! I guess only one Dan can win. Whoever bought the very next ticket after me won something. I had 4203.
I, too, am a loser.............by one stinking number.
I still haven't received my numbers! and I'm on the Pro Staff ???
No respect I tell ya, I get no respect :-\'
Still trying to get to the bottom of it...sheesh
I'm glad everyone else who helped out got their ticket information..thanks again to all that participated.
Said I'd report on my prize winning FDU raffle ticket. Won six packs of 3x soft baits. Not the top prize, but raffles are somewhat like fishing. Your involvement is more important to you than the final outcome. In a charity raffle, you know that your contribution is important in the larger sense. A prize is just icing. Besides these now become lucky, "secret" baits and bound for future glory :).
2006 Annual Give-Away Fundraiser Results
Congratulations to the following prize winners of the 2006 give-away in support of our non-profit charitable giving foundation, Fishing Dreams Unlimited.
All winners were awarded their appropriate corresponding prize as authenticated and certified by the independent auditor. On January 13th, 2007, we had over 70 people witness the live drawing as the auditor conducted the independent selection process and those present with their redemption certificates were able to certify and claim their prizes. All remaining prize winners were notified and all but one presented their matching, signed, embossed redemption certificate tickets within the stated 10 day period to claim their prize. With regard to privacy laws, where applicable and specifically approved, we have shown the winners complete name and their corresponding prize.
Thanks to all who participated and to all who supported our fundraising drive, and again, CONGRATULATIONS to the winners!
A special thanks to the Godwin Family who, once again, covered all the administrative and prize costs, allowing the foundation to give out in donations and grants 100% of the proceeds!

Hey Blake,
Remind us again next year. I'm on a roll. The only other thing I've won was the draft lottery. Won a trip to Ft. Jackson South Carolina. It only cost me six years. Oh yea, I did win 10K on a one dollar scratch off once.
