Im going to up the Raffle prize everyone, I originally had the Plastic Case for the Iphone, then I got the Iskin for the Iphone, I returned the Plastic case and they gave me a $33.48 Store Credit... Im going to attach this credit with the ipod touch raffle prize...

We need to sell 16 more tickets, your chance is very good 1 out of 42!!!!

Thanks

You should consider giving two prizes out, instead of lumping them together. Then everyone's chances of winning are twice as much!

Just an idea :p

THE THURSDAY
LUNCHTIME
PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH
CHALLENGE
Do you buy your lunch? How much does it cost? Around here, lunch at a regular restaurant will run you about $10. That's a couple slices of pizza, a soft drink, tax, and tip at the mall. Ya know, a peanut butter sandwich and a piece of fruit from home is about a buck. Yup, $1.

Here's the challenge. I'll buy another ticket (number 4 for me) and have a peanut butter sandwich on Thursday if someone else buys a ticket with their lunch money and eats a peanut butter sandwich that day.

Now how cool is that? Great lunch, ticket for an iPod touch or Apple Store credit, and you're doing something very cool for a kid.

The gauntlet has been thrown. Who's up for the challenge?

I'll take you up on that...

You've already pledged enough tickets, so with my last paycheck before I start life as a starving student I'll grab another ticket too.

So another ticket for me, for a total of 2.


But if you don't mind mathogre, I'll be eating cheese on toast with brown sauce instead :)
