How to win a Fly-in Raffle?

Ok.. this past weekend marked my longest streak in RC history. For the past 10 years I have never won one single thing at a pilots or charity raffle. I typically buy $20 worth of tickets and never win anything. i'm not complaining just courious on what I am doing wrong?!?!



Now the reason I ask this is I know several guys who every time they go somewhere they win something. Some guys buy a TON of tickets but others do as I do and just buy $20 worth.



So for those of you with the luck of the Irish, what's the deal?



And the funny thing is I have given out probably $100K worth of prizes over the years but never even won a prop cover!



Crumpled tickets? Early or late purchases? Space out your ticket returning!??!



Winners what's your secret?!?!?

I've had good luck lately and have won 2 planes this past year. They've both been the type where you pay 20 and get as many tickets as you can based on how far you can reach and I have long arms. If its a good raffle I usually buy an arms length when I register and then one right before the drawing. However I have never won anything else, just those two planes (well maybe a bottle of CA too).



I've also met a guy once called one ticket Lou and he's had pretty good luck with his 1 ticket strategy as well.

I've got a couple 22" and 23" Falcon prop covers I'd be happy to send you no charge. Heck, I'll even cover the postage!
