I don't understand the raffles. I see there is one tomorrow, and there have been some in the month I've been a member. But, I don't know where to look for what's being sold, etc

Hi texaskitty; the announcements for the raffle are always on the home page (and also in the newsletter which comes out once a week on Saturdays). They are usually related to the themes of the week.
They are not strictly a raffle since there is no money involved; we buy our tickets with 'acorns' which you can earn here on ATP in various ways.
Join in - it will be fun!

Read here all about acorns:

texaskitty: Raffle tickets usually cost 5 acorns each and I sent you 's so that you can purchase a couple of tickets if you decide you'd like to enter the next raffle! They are a lot of fun and prizes are always wonderful.

Thanks for the explanations, directions, and acorns. I was so happy to be able to participate, I bought 2 tickets

Where do you see the Not a Raffle Raffle posted? I rarely see them. I don't see the one you are talking about right now on the Home Page.

Right hand column at the top. Look for the photo of the daylily.

Look on the right top for this:

I see it now. It wasn't up there when I opened this thread. I am no good at contests but I love to enter them here.
