The 2019 Not-A-Raffle-Raffle!

Posted by @dave on
This is the big event we've all been waiting for, the 2019 Not a Raffle Raffle!

Why is this not a regular raffle? Well, in a regular raffle, you pay for the tickets with money. But in NGA raffles, you buy your tickets with acorns. Tickets cost 5 acorns each. Don't know what acorns are? Click here to learn about acorns, and how to get them.

Important note: these prizes can only be shipped to certain locations. Unless a prize states otherwise, it can only be mailed to a recipient in the United States. We are really sorry for those in other countries, but the complications and expense of shipping things to other countries is just too difficult and costly to arrange with the various companies. If you are outside the US, you can still participate, but if you win you will need to gift the prize to a member in an eligible location.

Good luck to all participants, and now let's talk about the prizes:
