NES, as usual, steps up with great support. Bump on the final day for a good cause. Odds of winning a new gun are around 1 in 33, and last year one of the NES members won two guns on the same ticket. Our FFL dealer might even trade a prize gun toward a different model, but that's up to them.
Last year the Massachusetts Friends of NRA committees gave out around $40,000 in grants to MA clubs and organizations to promote the shooting sports. There were grants for junior rifle teams, range development, clubhouse repairs, archery equipment, etc. One club was able to pave a handicapped parking area so that handicapped members, especially a teenager in a wheelchair, could get to shoot on the indoor range.

If nobodys ticket is drawn for one of the days, is it redrawn at a later date?

No. The gun goes back into inventory for the next raffle or the banquet in May.

The only thing I have gotten right is that each time I had a three digit number, and the winning pick was also a three digit number...

 

[FPrice]

Say, I have a three-digit number also. What are the chances of that happening?

 

[Sawicki1991]

Odds are 1 and 33

 

[LuvDog]

Can someone explain how the odds are 1:33?

There are 1000 possible numbers 0-999.

Wouldn't it be 1 in 1000

1000 possible numbers divided by 31 days =32.25.

 

[MAD Geary]

You have a 0.1% chance or 0.001 of getting your number picked drawn. Then on day two, you still have a 0.1% chance of getting chosen.

Adding up your daily percentage of winning for 31 days total gets you 3.1% chance or 1:32.25

 

[LuvDog]

Ahh... I wasn't thinking about cumulative odds for the month.

 

[MAD Geary]

RUn this,

http://www.danielsoper.com/statcalc/calculator.aspx?id=71

Input .001 for probability of success
1 for 1 success
31 for 31 days.

Then take he last one, greater than or equal to and subtract the third one, greater than. To get the exact odds.
