1 in 15,000 chance of winning half a million, for $150

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Just curious how many here would be willing to pay $150 for chance to win $500,000 if the odds are 1 in 15,000 or less?

I wouldn't.

Not like I have the money anyway.

A local school district has an annual raffle. The previous years, they raffled away a new house. This year, it's cash. The money goes towards the schools.

I didn't want to be just a regular poll. Thanks.

California? Is the winner going to see actual cash or an IOU?

No way. The expected payout is $33.33 for each ticket sold.
