$100 For A Chance To Win A Mercedes McLaren

Which would you rather have, a Mercedes SLR McLaren or $300,000? For just $100 you may win the chance to make that decision. The Pohanka Automotive Group in Salisbury, MD is auctioning off the rare car for a good cause. The car retails for around $465,000. Pohanka will sell 5,000 tickets at $100 each. Most of the money will pay for the car, but the remaining cash will be donated to Toys for Tots. So far they have sold more than half of the tickets. The car can't be registered in several states and gets just 17 miles to the gallon so for those who are more practical, the winner can also choose the $300,000 cash if they prefer. The deadline is December 10 and you don't have to be local to play.

Thank you for posting this local newpaper article. I am running this raffle and it has been a big help. People have ordered tickets online, that would have never heard of it. Thank you very much, raising a half million dollars is not easy... I raise money for Toys for Tots every year and this effort will pay off breaking all records.
If you have any other tips on how I can get the word out, please I am all ears. My Family and I have been to so many trade shows, and car shows and events to display the car and sell tickets. This morning when I saw the orders it was the first time in a while that I felt as though we can reach our goal. Thanks again!
