Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening! I have received some feedback and thought about how to operate a raffle and have come up with this system. I'm going to keep this raffle smaller so as to test how things go and get a better idea of how folks like it!

I have six draws. I want to include everybody, so each pool has items from horses with open genes!
Two for straw bundles (1 set is all open genes, 1 set has some closed genes).
Two for egg bundles (1 set is all open genes, 1 set has some closed genes).
Two to win a horse (1 horse is all open genes, 1 horse has some closed genes).

Straw and egg bundles this go consist of five each from their respective donors!

First up: 5 straws from this handsome devil!

BV Pumpkins Are Coming KP
Pumpkin is C-papered, homozygous KP on an Autumn's Arrival RS base. Side note: he was the very first GMT project of mine, so he is very close to my heart!
No closed genes on this boy, so anyone can purchase tickets for his straws!

Second: 5 straws from a blingy boy!

BV Cinnamon Twist GMT
Cinnamon is B-papered on a Pretzel Twist RS base. Tons of goodies here: heterozygous for onyx, KP, KP2, and sabino 1& homozygous for satin, DP, sooty+, and phantom lace!
You must own onyx and lace to purchase tickets for his straws.

Third draw in the pool: 5 eggs from a snowflake foundation!

BV Winifred SF
Winny is red-papered on a Trick Or Treat RS base. She is homozygous for pearl and snowflake! Watch out for the trick here, she has a copy of frame and white 2!
No closed genes on this gal, so anyone can purchase tickets for her eggs!

Fourth draw: 5 eggs from a phantom lady!

BV Maplewood h
Maple is yellow-papered on a Dark Chocolate RS base. She is heterozygous for DP and phantom autumn!
You must own phantom autumn to purchase tickets for her eggs.

The fifth draw is for the horse herself:

BV5 Rupee sk $
Rupee is an evenly bred, fifth generation warmblood. She is Gold-papered and has tested superior to her dam! She is heterozygous for sooty +, white 10, DP, and KP!
No closed genes on her, so anyone may purchase tickets for her!

The sixth, and final draw is for another lovely lady:

BV6 NinetyNine uwsf $
NinetyNine is an evenly bred, sixth generation draft. She is Gold-papered and has tested superior to her dam! She is heterozygous for ice 14, watercolor, mushroom, and sooty +, & she is homozygous for KP!
You must own ice 14, watercolor, and mushroom to purchase tickets for her.

All right! Now that you've been introduced to everybody, we will move on to the business side of things!
Tickets can be purchased in the form of show ponies out of my barns. They can be purchased through the chat group I have created: BV's Raffle Room!
Each ticket corresponds to a particular draw, so please ensure you are purchasing tickets for the correct straws/eggs/horse. I have labelled each ticket with the name of the horse the draw is for, and have made notes in each individual ticket-show pony's page to confirm which draw they are for! If you are confused, please let me know. I want to make this as straightforward as possible so everyone can enjoy this!

Once you have purchased your tickets, I will keep track of them, so please try not to rename the show pony until after the raffle has ended (I cannot control if you do, but I will do my darndest to make sure every ticket is accounted for at the time of the draw!).

I will make the draw on my birthday, September 30th. (tickets will be available until Sep. 29th at rollover)

Once the draws have been made, and winners announced, you will have 72 hours to pick up your prize! If you do not pick up your winnings after this time frame, I will re-draw. If you were unable to pick up because of real life reasons (it happens to all of us!), PM me and we can sort something out. :D

If you have decided at this point you would like to purchase some tickets for a draw, please comment below with your ID number (or PM it to me!) and I will add you to the group so you may grab whichever tickets you'd like!
I currently only have three tickets for each draw, so if you want more, let me know!

To summarize:
1.) Decide if you want to buy tickets
2.) Give me your ID number so I can add you to the chat
3.) Buy your tickets
4.) Have fun!
