You are invited to participate in our raffle! We are selling raffle tickets for 50 acorns each. Starting now you can buy tickets, and on Tuesday evening (Jan 31st) at 5:00pm central standard time the ticket buying window will close.

Sometime on Wednesday morning (Feb 1st) we will do the drawing and publish the results in this forum.

The grand prize winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card.

The second place winner will receive an All Things Plants T-Shirt in the color and size you request (subject to availability).

You can buy as many tickets as you wish, and as often as you wish. You don't have to buy them all at once, either. You can buy one and then come back tomorrow and buy another one. Just make sure you've got all the tickets you want by the time Tuesday afternoon gets here!

Buy your tickets here:

http://garden.org/barn/contest...

This is meant to be fun for everyone, and rewarding for two lucky winners, so enjoy it! If you have any questions, just post away!

There have now been 100 tickets sold. This is a much bigger response than I was expecting!

So as of right now, every ticket has a 1% chance of winning. Those are decent odds!!
