I am going to purchase 5 raffle tickets with acorns gifted to me by Paul2032! If I am fortunate enough to win, whatever prize I happen to win, I will DONATE it to somebody I gifted tickets to. If my donated acorns were not lucky and you didn't win, I will donate my prize to you directly! So I am going to do anything I can to spread my good fortune.
I have enough acorns to help a few more people so "hit me up for some'!
Good luck to us all. 😃🤞🙏

Holy generous! That is awesome!

What was I thinking???

But I am absolutely serious!
I do it in honor of Paul and the entire NGA family.

Great idea Bill.

I thought so!

You are so generous. And you are really making this NARA fun!

And interesting!
A newer member is going to win prizes I hope and if it comes down to me winning something and donating it to that person, that is going to be so cool! 😎

Perhaps after Dave has organized such a wonderful group and such a great raffle, I hope I helped 'kick it up a notch!!

Hi - I have empty pockets now and really need some lucky acorns if you still have any!

Thanks,
BArb

Well I hope they are lucky!
Time will tell.

Bill - you've really added a lot of fun to this NARR already. Now you've really gone all out! I can't wait for you to win lots of prizes.

Bill - Not looking for acorns. Just enjoy reading all of the acorn posts. But I keep coming back to this thread. Very possible that I'm missing something, but I can't figure out how you're planning to do what you're proposing.

1. If you (Big Bill) win, you'll donate your prize to someone who you had gifted acorns to.

2. If someone you gifted acorns to doesn't win, you'll donate your prize directly to them.

So . . . how will that work?

3. You can only win one prize so you can only donate your prize to one member.

4. You have gifted a gazillion acorns to half a gazillion members (more or less).

So, if you win are you going to divide your prize into half a gazillion (more or less) in order to fulfill #1 and #2?
This might be possible if you win a gazillion seeds.

OR

If you win, are you going to raffle off your prize so that you can donate it to a member who didn't win and is one of the half a gazillion (more or less) who you had gifted acorns to?

IF SO

Would that be legal?

I keep dwelling on this because I enjoy it more than doing chores and stuff, and while I enjoy logic (note how I charted this), and I do marvel at your generosity, I cannot figure out how the heck you're going to carry out your proposal.

What in the Sam Hill am I missing?

If I win a prize, I'll pick something that I can mail anywhere.
Then I have generated a list of all the people I gave acorns to. I will "put all of those names in a hat" and pick one.
When the prize arrives at my home I will ship it on to my winner!

Something for example like theCobra garden tools or maybe a gift card.

Alrighty then. Have a pie. 🥧

Apple?
Cherry?
Key-lime?
I just love a good piece of pie! Thanks for the oak seeds.

That is so lovely.
