What's the prize for winning? Because if it's over the cost of the fine and tow, I know what I'm doing with a truck come spring!

Each ticket costs $10. If four people buy tickets and one wins, that person gets $20 and the other $20 goes to the scholarship fund, but if 10 people buy tickets, the winner gets $50 and the fund gets $50. So 50% of the money goes to the winner, and the other 50% goes to the rotary scholarship fund.

Even after reading;

"The winner who picks the closest date/hour gets 50% of the total pool. The rest will benefit the Stowe Rotary Scholarship Fund."

Still don't understand?

Ha! I was being sarcastic. It seems silly to ask a question that was already answered in the OP.

There are those people who really love social interaction though... even if it involves asking questions that have already been answered.

"In the event no trucks get stuck"......Has this ever happened in the past 25 years?

You have some weird selective sight that has let you completely block out the explanation they gave from two separate comments. Here it is again, for a third time:

>"The winner who picks the closest date/hour gets 50% of the total pool. The rest will benefit the Stowe Rotary Scholarship Fund."

Edit: LMAO, the baby blocked me over this.

That last disclaimer about “NO TRUCK” seems a bit pointless….

I probably should have some commas in there.

You missed the post, since it's deleted, but the person basically said "I don't know what a 50/50 raffle is". The first response is someone quoting the OP with the exact words stating what a 50/50 raffle is...

So I said "Why read, when you can ask a question AND also read?" A bit sarcastic. Like they could just read the answer in front of them instead of asking for the answer and reading it... twice.

Cool. Like in Boston college move in month (august/ sept) there are always discussions on who gets storrowed! Storrow drive in Cambridge has low bridges and they get stuck under the bridges. New college kid drivers not familiar

These kind of things need to be more common. Not just in VT, but nationwide.

Some states will charge you $2400 just for littering. I don't know why we don't up this. Come to think of it, why don't we up the littering penalty from $200 while we're at it?

Not that it’s related to the original post at all, but about half of BC’s main campus is in Boston’s Brighton neighborhood which is very much in the city limits. “Chestnut Hill” is a just informal district shared by 3 municipalities.
