Err, no, in a word. I think the clue is in what you originally wrote, "anyone tempted to WASTE MONEY...." I like the bike as well BTW!
Kinda yeah, I know an ex-work colleague that won a static holiday home in a draw. Look I get the odds are astronomical but to quote the legendary Jim Bowen “Look at what you could’ve won”
Once spunked £100 on a raffle ticket for a Ferrari. I was half pissed traipsing through an airport (can’t remember where) and it was on display all polished and looking amazing under the down lighting. Didn’t win the fucker. Obvs....
You're better of with a jar & a jaw down your local with a mate,that way your never know or care for that matter
I bought a ticket for the V4 Speciale - didn't win. I knew I wouldn't but thought 'feck it, what if I do' I know a guy who bought a Ferrari ticket at airport and did win - he told the caller to fuck off as he didn't believe it but they persisted - he took cash alternative, so someone has to win. Buy the ticket if you really fancy the bike and can afford to lose the money
I know a guy who won the Dubai duty free millionaire draw. Bought a single ticket and won a million dollars. Also the guy who won the 2012 fire blade painted like joey Dunlop’s Vimto sp1. Bought 5 tickets and got a call to go to the IOM to pick it up.
I wouldn’t do it but... My neighbours son won a lovely Suburu Imprezza WRX in a Facebook raffle. I thought it was all a scam until then.
I remember buying ticket to win a Norton Rotary. Whatever happened to that draw? Nevermind winning a Norton, you can't even buy one...
An ex won a car in a Marks & Spencer raffle but then was told that the win was void due to her working there (nothing mentioned on entry form). Eventually settled for a cash compromise.
Many years ago someone turned up at a local bike night on a 916 in Old Spice race paint scheme that he had won. I will admit to having tried my luck once or twice when they were raffling bikes for the Joey Dunlop Foundation at the TT, but only single figure sums.
Same, and at least the Joey Foundation is a decent cause... so when the inevitable silence rather than the Bruce Anstey CBR600RR resulted I just chalked it up as a charitable donation. I think 44 Teeth is now sponsored by one of these raffle companies? BOTB?
I upset an fB site as I suggested they are often scams. Lots of ‘reputable business’ etc and ‘if it doe st make the target after a few goes, we raffle the cash’ plus abuse form some of the posters. Couldn’t link a winner tho...and went silent when I pasted their tcs that said ‘if target sales aren’t made, we can list the same sEll more tickets 5 times. If enough still not sold, we will, after deductions allowed in clause 9.1, raffle the remaining value as a cash prize’. Clause 9.1 allowed all expenses, plus marketing, plus 30% for administration.... May be it’s legit, may be it’s not. If it smells like a duck, walks like one and quacks like one, it’s probably not a cat
