Default A chance to win a YFZ450?

Who would be willing to spend a mere $25 for a chance(with 1 in 500 odds) to win one of the all new YFZ450's? Doesn't sound like very much money to me, odds don't sound too bad either. What do you all think.

I am sure it won't be long and dirtwheels or someone will be giving people a chance to win(you don't have to subscribe) but a person's odds there are much worse I believe.

why would they stop at odds of 1/500? They'd sell as many tickets as possible, they would not stop at 500, jmo.

If they wanted to they would stop at 500. yeah they could make more money by selling more tickets, but that would cut the entrants odds of winning down, making it more of a gamble...............

Your chances of winning with 1/500 odds are much greater than with something like 1/1000 or higher...........which (if you were buying a ticket) prefer?

i like to gamble, $25.00 for a chance, maybe. with only 500 entries that's a cool ~$6,000. profit for the person holding the raffle.

yeah, it could be a great profit for the person holding the raffle/ contest. but what if this person didn't sell enough tickets to cover the cost of the quad? (maybe slim, but still a possibility) This person would be a$$ out......plain and simple.

The way I look at it they would have to purchase the quad outright and have it on hand to view (for legal verification and such) and take the CHANCE themself to cover their cost.

Some of the proceeds could be donated to a worthy cause of the winners choice..........
