Hello everyone!
On behalf of the Department of Education I would like to announce that we will be running a grab bag raffle to fund our New Player Rewards Program. This grab bag raffle was shamelessly stolen from eUSA and they deserve many kudos for introducing a fantastic idea.
Why are we having a raffle?
This raffle is designed as a fundraiser for the New Player Rewards Scheme, raising funds for the Education department so that the scheme can continue even if government funding is cut. I genuinely believe that the NPRS is a good idea and deserves a chance to run for a long period regardless of the political situation in eAustralia.
So, what is a grab bag raffle?
It’s pretty simple, really. We have 200 bags set aside (see below for contents) and will be selling each bag for 400 AUD each. Each of these bags contains a set amount of items (worth anywhere from 1AUD to 10,000AUD), the contents of which will be posted below. The contents of each individual bag will be revealed when all bags are bought, and the prizes will be sent out.
How do I get involved?
There are four things you need to do:
1. Post a comment on this article reserving your bag numbers.
2. Send a mail to me with the bag numbers.
3. Send me 400AUD for each bag. The first person to send the money gets the bag.
4. Help spread the word!

FAQs
I'm not Australian, can I enter?
Sure! If you have the AUD you can enter
🙂
Can you give me random bag numbers?
Yes! I use random.org to generate your bag numbers.
Can you tell me what's in the bags?
Of course not! I generated the bag contents (using random.org) before starting the competition (to ensure everything was fair) so I know what's in the bags but I'm not telling
🙂
Why are you using your citizen account to run this and not the Education org account?
There is a lot of admin work involved in this and I don't want to complicate things further by having to have two browser windows with two accounts open at once. eAustralia's Prime Minister has posted on this article indicating official government support for the competition.

Doesn't the Department of Education have an org newspaper?
I want 3 and 33.

Rather to check his own account for cash then log into the org paper and so forth.
and 103, 133, and 113, 123
4 and 44 for me.
88, 99 and 136 also please 🙂
I love gambling
I shall be the winner 😃
I would like numbers 1,2,3,4,5
Thank you

I will update the article shortly with the bag purchases.
Koyannisqatsi Max has 2 bags left to pick due to numbers not being available.
StanEslah has 3 bags left to pick due to numbers not being available.
And as srg91 said, TJ, this is being run from my citizen account because it's already a giant PITA to administrate without having to use the org account as well : ) I have srg91's approval to run this as an official government activity. I should also point out that should this raffle prove successful the MoE will be returning the funds that were allocated to it under the government's budget.
Please reserver 179, 190 and 166
All bags that were requested and paid for have been sold. Everyone that picked a sold bag has been chased up via messages, IRC or posting on this article to pick new bags.
I'm off to bed now and probably won't be around for eight hours. I will catch up with the admin work then.
Thankyou to everyone for showing interest! Please vote up the article, shout it to your friends, and subscribe for competition updates!
187 and 40
derkaderka jihad got in just as I was about to head off so his bags have been reserved. Everyone else will have to wait for the morning!

And one last comment before I head off - the contents of the bags were randomly generated by myself before this article was posted. I know exactly which bag has the q5 house (and I'm not telling anyone!). All will be revealed when all the bags are sold! This is a completely fair and unbiased competition, for the greater good of eAustralia's newbie population.
this is really great 🙂
good work Mudkip McMudkip
