Welcome to Clearly Canadian's first-ever raffle (and first-ever raffle series as well). This raffle celebrates that special rite of passage for teenagers, that one thing that young men and women yearn for more than anything...getting a driver's liscence! (Never mind that I'm actually 22...)

This also celebrates getting over a phobia, as driving is one of my biggest fears. (Which is why I'm now taking the test for the first time)

That's right - on Monday, July 25th at 1pm, I will be taking my behind-the-wheel driver's test for the very first time!

"Wait - Monday? But that's after this event is over!" you may be saying to yourself. Yep, true, so this raffle is more like a "Good Luck On Your Test!" event.

Up for raffle are 6 different bottles, one of each species. Each is representing a Canadian traffic sign (which look remarkably similar to United States traffic signs. biggrin ) For this event, the bottles have prechosen species but the winners will get to choose the gender.

Keep a watch out during the next few days for ways to earn free tickets, *possible* free pets, twists and perhaps an ULTIMATE TWIST!!! *bum bum buuuuummmmm*

~ If you cannot attend this raffle you may have someone proxy for you as long as both you and your proxy let me know in advance.

~ You may co-own with one other person.

Start Time: Thursday, July 21 @ 7 am
End Time: Sunday, July 24 @ 10 pm
Ticket Price: 10 gold each

Winning tickets will be drawn using Randomizer.org

Anyone who gives away spoilers for Harry Potter 6 in this thread will be banned from this event and blacklisted. This includes posts and signatures. You have been warned.
Ordering Tickets


Tickets are 10 gold each. (Why so low? So that everyone, regardless of gold amount, can enter for at least one bottle. I'll even throw a poll up so even someone who comes with zero gold can enter.)

~ Post the following in this thread (DO NOT PM) :
Sign(s) tickets are for:
Number of tickets: (if more than one sign, specify how many for each sign)

~ Then send the trade to timeerkat (Funds from this auction are going towards my custom audio-rhetoric quest)

~ I won't take an order and space it out randomly for you (I don't want to lose track of who has how many tickets where). However, feel free to break your one big order into several smaller ones and post throughout the event.

~ If you buy more tickets before I accept your previous trade, just cancel it and add the extra gold to your current trade, you don't have to wait for me to accept between each batch of tickets.

~ You can enter for as many different bottles as you want (1, 2, or even all 6)

~ You can purchase as many tickets as you want for any of the bottles

~ You can spread your tickets out however you would like (for example, if you want 20% on one bottle and 80% on another that's fine, evenly spread is fine too)

~ You can purchase tickets or designate free tickets towards another user. Just let me know their exact username if you do so.
