Where will the draw most likely take place?

My wife would prefer it was at a pub somewhere so I was thinking we could do it at Scotsman's Well in the Creekside Shopping Centre and the winner can just come up the hill and grab it after we are done.

I will also consider doing it at my house in Creekside if that is everyone's preference.

OK, I had to google that and now I know why I hadn't heard of it. Way up in the Country Hills area.

Maybe we could do it somewhere a little more central? That way the winner wouldn't care if he had to drive 1/2 way across town to pick it up, but the 31 losers don't have to make a long trek for nothing.

I don't think you are going to get an "ideal" place, especially if some people won't be able to take it with them immediately.

It depends on what time and where you want to have the draw.

I work downtown and take the train in to work so somewhere close to the c-train line works best for me.

Hey, here's an idea for the making sure the raffle is fair without having to make sure everyone is around.
Just assign everyone a number from 1-32. Then you say that the time of the Stanley Cup winning goal will determine the winner.

If the goal is scored at 11:24 of the third period then number 24 wins it.
If the goal is scored after the 32 second mark of a minute, then you just go to the previous goal untill you find one that works.

Just thought that might make it a little more fun.

Have to have all entries in by the start of the last game for this to work though.

Yeah, i don't want one, I just thought i'd throw an idea out to help everyone out, as it'll be damn near impossible to get 32 dudes together to get this done.

As long as there are some of there I think it is fine. Anyone who isn't there and has bought a ticket is assigned a number and we make the draw.

I thought this would sell out in one day. Come on people- it's only $25; I've spent more than that in one night playing it at a bar. And this is a chance to have one of your own!
