Online ticket sales will be limited to the state of Massachusetts.
Seems a bit biased to me.

Here's the math...

Lets say you won and had to dump that fugly thing on Ebay for say, $35,000. Your one-in-2500 chance means the true value of the ticket is 1/2500 * 35,000 = $14. You are paying $100 per ticket for a loss of $86.

But hey, Vegas exists for a reason.

Go fot it

C'mon...It's not that ugly. Remember, Ford was making Mustangs while Chevy was sitting on its thumbs.

For one, I'm sure that car would go for more than 35k at auction. Second, when is the last time you heard of a raffle where the ticket cost equaled the total value of the prizes? That would be a pretty pointless raffle
