Hello Road Warrior Supporters,

This message is being sent way too late and for that we apologize. We elected to hold the F3 raffle on Saturday May 2 at Spyderfest in Springfield, Missouri. We announced this on Facebook and it was heavily discussed in a flurry of activity on forums like Spyderlovers.com. We have been fielding phone calls and answering emails on this raffle. While we thought we were communicating effectively, we failed to acknowledge that there is still a good portion of raffle ticket buyers that do not know the raffle has been held. This message will be posted on the forums, our social media channels and emailed to folks who bought or registered tickets online. We are pointing all communications to this thread to serve as one central messaging place.

The main reason why we held the raffle early was to do it in front of an audience that knows Road Warrior Foundation and our mission to support wounded veterans. We also calculated that we would sell close to the same number of tickets if the crowd at Spyderfest knew the drawing was happening there versus selling online-only tickets for the next three weeks. We knew we weren’t going to achieve our goal of 4000 tickets and having the raffle early improved every purchaser’s odds of winning (final odds 1-in -2193).

How did we account for everyone? We sold 897 paper tickets at Spyderfest and we sold 1,296 other tickets-- both online and at various other events like Daytona Bike Week and Road Warrior Awareness Rides. We placed 2193 raffle tickets in a box, shuffled them and placed them in the F3 front trunk. We correlated each number in the F3 to a ticket that we sold. A 9-year-old closed his eyes and then selected 9 numbers out of the trunk of the Spyder. Click here to access a spreadsheet that lists your promo codes. There was one grand-prize winner and eight runners-up that won $75 gift cards. Here is a list of the winners.

Please look at the spreadsheet listed above to ensure your ticket number was captured. We have a much more detailed spreadsheet and can answer any questions you may have. That spreadsheet just contains personal identifying information such as phone numbers and mailing addresses. Below are links to both the video of the drawing and a folder that contains the raffle tickets represented in the drawing. Thank you for supporting the Road Warrior Foundation and please follow us June 5-12 as we embark on the 2015 Road Warrior Ride that will take wounded veterans from Quebec to Key West.
