I just did my semi-annual rolling of my accumulated change (not so much this time: $38.50. I’ve been trading a lot of change in for bills at work). Then I logged into my account at my bank to see where I wanted to put it.<\/p>\n
And I noticed that they’re having their annual (?) raffle. They sell 5,000 tickets at $20 apiece. The prize is a 2007 Lexus ES350<\/a>, which is a beautiful car. (Basically a luxury version of the new Camry.) I’m perfectly happy with my car, but, well, who wouldn’t want a 2007 Lexus?<\/p>\n The money goes to benefit charity. (Although really, they’re raising less than $60,000 ‘profit’ via the raffle, which isn’t so impressive?) I can think of the $20 ticket as some of the change I’m bringing in.<\/p>\n I just can’t make up my mind, though. 1\/5,000 aren’t great odds, but then again, it’s far better than my odds in the lottery. But $20 to probably win nothing? But it’s for charity. And I have that ‘extra’ $38.50 sitting on my desk.
