We would need an environmental study, some sort of state based review that costs 8 times the real cost, blessing by Nancy Pelosi and probably several other things I have forgotten.... ;-) oh yeah, probably another increase in state income tax to offset the cost of the study......

It's up to Mark & the NSRCA what they are willing to do, I'm not aware of any other way to do an online raffle and I work in the business (I work for Intuit) -- I believe our Intuit Payment Network service has the same restrictions as paypal. I could use my GoPayment account (if needed) to collect funds via credit card, but I would have no secure way to receive the credit card #'s online. I would then make a lump payment of the amount in my GoPayment account to the team.

Here's how it works -- everything on the paypal side is set up as a donation, but there is a side understanding that for donation of $X you will get Y tickets where Y increases faster than X, but not exponentially. When you make the donation, you get a range of numbers e-mailed to you as a "thank you for your donation", those are the numbers of the tickets that were assigned to you. Obviously, you need not be present at the drawing to win. I've not won, but I do know of some people far from Austin who donated online and actually won a big AJ Slick that was then shipped to them at club expense.
