Gmail Invite Raffle?


Recommended Posts

I had an idea to please all the millions of people begging for a Gmail invite while helping Neowin at the same time. What say we have a raffle for invites?

Invites sell for about $40 each on eBay. How about we have an invite were every dollar buys one ticket in the raffle, and when, say, 60 or 80 tickets are bought, we give away one Gmail account? The rest of the proceeds go to Neowin.

People don't want to pay $40 for an account, but many people wouldn't mind paying $6-7 to help Neowin while giving them a really good chance at getting the account. It would be pretty much a one-in-fifteen chance of getting an account which isn't bad at all, and even if you dont win, you're giving back to the community you love :D

What do you guys think? I wouldn't mind setting it up and handling it.

w/o google's authorization you gotta be stupid to do this.

just becuase they are being sold online and google haven't done anything (yet?) doesn't mean google approve of this.

why not just wait the extra few months and just get the account the legal way? its not really worth the hassle. :/

It is awfully nice of you to think this way but PLEASE stop with the GMail I have heard of it so much that its just getting annoying. I do not mean to sound like a ass but its just a E-mail address guys just like hotmail and every other one.

Hey now, quit bashing me, I'm not orgasming over getting one.. I already have one, and I'm happy with it :) And I'm getting tired of seeing so many Gmail threads as well, so if we merge them all together and raffle it off it would stop the madness.
