Looks like you paid for the $500 gift certificate by now atleast, wish the drawing wasnt set back, kinda annoyin.. but oh well.

I WON:eek: :blah ;) sure would be sweet:p

[Ben]

No, I still haven't broken even yet :)

How could you not break even yet? I put in 134*4 bucks and it comes out over 500 bucks.

Did you have any discounts from your 'sponsor' or do you just put the banner up there and call it one? Seems like you would be able to get the coupon for cheaper if they where a real sponsor.

I just went through and counted each and every ticket and revised my original account of the number sold. Actually 103 have been sold - the higher number I quoted earlier was a mistake due to a software spreadsheet error. Counting them via hand proved that even fewer are sold than I first believed. 103 * 5 is $509. I have sold all at bulk discounts which leads to approximately $3.27 a ticket = $336.81 brought in. I am paying very close to full price for the gift certificate, despite my best efforts to save some money on that front - so basically if I sell 35 more tickets I will break even. Thanks for your concern :)
