Since April 7, 2021:

Greetings, Adventurer, and welcome to our Raffle House, which is completely and totally legitimate and fully-licensed by the Council of Loathing. Here's how it works: you buy some raffle tickets, and every day (at rollover) we'll draw one to see who wins our Fabulous Prize, which will be delivered to you in one of our special packages. Tickets are non-transferrable, but we will accept tickets from Hagnk's if you should ascend before the drawing. All proceeds will be donated to an unspecified but very worthy charity of our choosing. So, how many tickets do you want?

Today's Raffle Prize:

First Prize:	airplane charter: Conspiracy Island
Second Prize:	voter registration form

1 first prize lots and 3 second prize lots are available. One prize lot per winner. All ticket sales are final. Void where prohibited by law. Part of a complete breakfast.

Notes

• Prizes are delivered in a raffle prize box, so that those in Hardcore or Ronin may receive their prizes without gaining a significant advantage over other players.
• Raffle tickets can be purchased using funds from Hagnk's Ancestral Mini-Storage.
• When you enter anything other than a positive number as the amount of tickets to buy, you get the response

  Buying less than one ticket is... unwise.

• From November 5, 2008 until February 22, 2016, there were 2 hatchlings and 5 plans per day. The exception to this is the hammer, in which there was 10 plans.

History

• The Raffle House opened on June 13, 2006.
• New first prizes appeared on June 25, 2007, with the advent of NS13.
• Starting January 9th, 2008, special first and second prizes were listed to be given away, due to a large confiscation of items from disabled accounts, related to the exploitation of two infinite meat bugs. The following was appended to the store text:

• The Raffle House was originally located on the Right Side of the Tracks. The original Raffle House was constructed on the former site of the LAAAAME Observatory. It was relocated to Bordertown during the skeleton invasion.
• In a Zombie Slayer run, the Raffle House has burned down:

The Raffle house has been burned down to the ground. It seems that the Penguins had a plan ready in case of disaster. Not that anyone is likely to go searching the place for evidence of criminal activity in these circumstances, but why waste a good plan, I guess?

Past Introductions

October 15 to November 4, 2008

Greetings, Adventurer, and welcome to our Raffle House, which is completely and totally legitimate and fully-licensed by the Council of Loathing. Due to a recent business arrangement made by my employers, we are not running any raffles at the present time. Rest assured that our organization is hard at work trying to figure out new ways to flee... ahem... serve you in the future.
