MARV is Being Raffled!

by | Apr 23, 2012 | Announcement, Update, Video | 0 comments

UPDATE JUNE 24TH:

Congrats to David Blizzard who is now MARV’s new owner!

Overall 396 raffle tickets were sold – about 3/4 of sales coming from PorcFest attendees. David had snagged his three tickets – including the one randomly selected by Ademo Freeman the last night of PorcFest – online.

I just spoke with David on the phone – he plans to keep MARV looking as-is (a rolling billboard for liberty) and use it for vacationing, etc.

David calls northern GA home so if you’re in the area keep your eyes peeled!

For transparency this spreadsheet is both public & updated frequently.

The “Raffle Tickets Sold” is the total amount of raffle tickets sold thus far. The “Raffle Ticket #” number is the physical raffle ticket (from a roll of raffle tickets) that will be entered into the drawing. The “Confirmation #” is the associated confirmation number(s) from individual purchases via Bitcoin, Dwolla, SquareUp or PayPal. Raffle tickets bought with cash or silver are manually assigned numbers, which too are added to this column.
