If I recall correctly, a few years ago (2009?) they failed to make the reserve to have the grand prize drawing. They nearly certainly won’t have the same problem this year, but I’m still not overly fond of this sort of raffle.
“A minimum of 61,375 tickets must be sold by 11:59 p.m., May 2, 2014 for the Grand Prize winner to have a choice of the House or the $2,100,000 annuity or a onetime $1,400,000 cash payment. If fewer than 61,375 tickets are sold by 11:59 p.m. Friday May 2, 2014, the raffle will be held as scheduled, and prizes will be awarded as advertised with the exception that the Grand Prize winner will receive a choice between a sum equal to 50% of the Net Raffle Proceeds paid as an annuity over 20 years, not to exceed $1,300,000 or a onetime cash payment of 70% of the annuity value, not to exceed $900,000.”
