Rigel Octave Mandolin Raffle

[Tom C]

600tix * $25 = $15,000.
Sure sounds like alot for and octive mando. -Or it's a bad bet. Would you make a bet with 10:1 odds to get paid $5 on a $1 bet?

Would you make a bet with 10:1 odds to get paid $5 on a $1 bet?
Probably not, but cash is not as much fun as a mando.

Besides, the proceeds go to help support Zoukfest, not to pay for the Rigel, which is donated. If you don't like the odds, don't buy a ticket, but there's no need to cast aspersions at the raffle.

Zoukfest is a unique event and worthy of support. It brings together the world's best OM/'zouk players for performances and teaching workshops. How many other festivals like that can you name?

That's the first thing that came into my head. Buy all the tickets and get the mando. That'd have to be a nugget octave for that much! I understand giving money to help out Zoukfest. Should be fun for those who enter. I'm wanting to see the OM myself. Can't wait to see these roll out.
