Atari Party 2010
Sunday, March 14th in Davis, California
Free Prize Drawing
Thanks to our generous sponsors, we've got
a ton of cool stuff we'll be giving away as prizes in a free prize
drawing at this year's event!
Note:
I had previously been calling this a 'raffle', but 'free prize drawing'
is more accurate, since tickets are not being sold, and donations are not being
asked for.
How the Drawing Will Work
Each attendee will receive two free raffle tickets. Depending on which prizes
you're interested in winning — books, joysticks, gift certificates, or
Atari computer systems — you'll place half of each of your tickets into one of
four boxes, and keep the other halves.
Drawings will be held for prizes three times during the event: at 3:30pm,
4:30pm and 5:30pm (see the schedule). Each time, we'll draw
three tickets from the "books" box (since we have 9 books to give away), one or two
tickets from the "gift certificates" box (since we have 5 to give away),
and one from the other two boxes: joysticks and Atari systems.
