Bill contemplates donations

The ad says YOU COULD WIN THIS CAR FOR $99
-
This is the 2008 Ferrari F430 Spider, and I am no economist or anything, but Pretty sure its worth more then 99 bucks.





-
The ad says that they are going to sell 7000 tickets at 99 dollars a pop and if your ticket is drawn you do have to pay the taxes. ----- So I logged in to the website: www.MajesticRegistry.org and found out that the raffle has either been cancelled or postponed.
-

So really, I CANNOT win this car for $99 after all, but it made me think.

-
1) I was Going to do it--- Then I thought to myself where would I get the money to pay the taxes, then I remembered I wont really have to worry about that because I wont win, and besides, if it was something I couldn't handle (the taxes) I could still sell the car to pay the taxes and pocket the difference, but I wont win anyways so I might as well do it... How is that for logic
2) I did not really believe that I was going to be the lucky person out of 7000 people -- I get that: a 1/7000 chance is very slim, but I rationalized to myself that it's for a good cause (the raffle money goes to help children with Cancer and blood diseases)

3) Why don't I just send them 99 bucks anyways even though the raffle has been canceled?

Maybe I will? - I will call the number tomorrow and maybe post about it later . Because what kind of a "darkened soul," would you have to have if you WANTED children to have to deal with cancer and blood diseases and the ickiness that goes with all that?
