Thread Name: GIBSON Guitar Raffle, Funds for School
Subject: RE: GIBSON Guitar Raffle, How It Works
UPDATE from the county attorney on how he set up this raffle for the school (yes, we can do it):


The buyers of raffle tickets must be in the state of Montana, but any buyer can be a PROXY for someone else in another state or country.
A written agreement between the proxy and the non-Montana buyer would state that the proxy will enter the purchased tickets in the name of the out of state buyer with the proxy's phone number. If the ticket wins, the proxy will be called and will answer, "I am the proxy for (winner's name)".

I am assured that it is legal for me to enter into a private agreement with anyone to be their proxy in buying raffle tickets for the guitar.

If you do want to buy tickets, I have a Pay Pal account which makes it very easy to purchase online from anywhere in the world. You could also mail a check if you prefer.

Send a personal message to me and I will send a statement that I will
be your proxy for the tickets puchased in your name. Print out a hard copy of my message that will include the ticket numbers.

I will be updating the info on the photo of the guitar to have instructions in how to contact me to act as a proxy buyer.

If anyone thinks this thread is too confusing for new readers to digest, maybe Joe or a clone can edit it down to the correct info on how this transaction will work.
