The biggest news of the day - the raffles are now free for all ticket holders! We'll be able to enter once per ticket account holder, presumably to even the playing field for everyone. Plus, instead of the $20 in free raffle tickets we were originally promised, 3-day-ticket-purchasers will be able to enter once per account for a glossy Ballynoe Castle Celebration Model. Apparently there are only 10 of those, so I wonder where the other 30 are going? Interesting. Well, unless they only glossed 10 this year, which I suppose is possible. It would actually be 13, since the judges of the Best Customs Contest also get a glossy Celebration Horse.
I was a bit conflicted about this at first, but now that I've thought about it I'm okay with it - only being able to enter once per account for each raffle will even the playing field a LOT, aside from the inevitable few who bought tickets on multiple accounts (I am not among those people). The only really bad part is that the raffles usually bring in a lot of money for charity, which will no longer be happening, but maybe Breyer will be able to make up for it with the auction items.
Also, residents of Canada (except Quebec) will now be able to enter the raffles, presumably because we can now enter for free. Huzzah! Well, we don't have that much longer to wait - good luck with the raffles, everyone!
