No not the case guys! I apologize for the silence, its just been a very busy and rough summer. With everything that has been going on I just have not had time to hop on here or really any of the other forums I am apart of. I'd NEVER take advantage of the community like that though.
The post Chance saw was me actually trying to get the last few spots of this one filled, not a new one. We are so close to filling it. I've been looking at how some other pages have done raffles to try and see where I made mistakes and advertise this one better.

Yo! How about a refund to everyone ? The idea was great, but we have waited long enough.

Thanks, keep us posted. It's only $25 bucks, but he needs to make it right to all who actually contributed.

wonder if he has a CA state raffle license? maybe its me, but these raffles people put together all seem like a huge scam to me.

I personally done get these raffles, vehicle giveaways, etc., unless all proceeds go to a legit charity, it’s all a scam and only benefits rafflers.
Personally I work hard for my money, and if I want something, I do the sure thing and buy it. Gambling just never seemed smart to me.

Agreed. All these “buy a ticket” raffles popping up are so obviously a money grab. The only ones that make sense to me are the ones selling merchandise (that is always for sale) and every X amount gets you entered into a drawing. It’s an added incentive to buy that T-shirt. Glasses, etc you've been thinking about. Even if you lose, at least you have the item you paid for.
I’ve been part of raffles that came to fruition and hell, have won one before. $25 is $25, cheaper than buying a whole ass SwitchPro , sometimes it’s worth the shot… if the raffle is real

I agree, I've ordered some Vice Grip Garage stuff before to support a channel I enjoy and was entered to win a car, which was just icing on the cake.
Is it worth a shot? It doesn't seem like it from an odds perspective, but again. personally I don't buy lotto scratchers, go to Vegas to gamble, etc.

Finally back on here, thanks @dwphoto for yet another password reset 
I got messaged to fill the last few spots for this on Monday night so it is filled and closed, I will be going live tonight on Instagram at 7PM to pick the winner so all who are interested can see it is done fairly. I already updated @BigRonDog about this after it happened.
I had only done this raffle as way to try sell off an item that I had and didn't need while trying to help someone get a big discount on an expensive item. This was never meant to be a long term repeated thing to make money like other pages have done.
For what little its worth, I had been trying to log onto here to update you guys for the last 2 months or so but kept getting locked out of my account. Major fail there. Admittedly there were a few other things I could have done as well to make this all run smoother. I have read everything you guys have said, and I agree with all of you, this had gone on way longer than it should have and I deeply apologize. I have no intentions of hosting another one, and have also talked a few other pages out of attempting to do the same thing. Lesson learned. I hope I can redeem myself to you all one day.
And if I could, yes I would get you all SwitchPros @Oh4Tahoe

I’m sorry you feel that way. I just did the raffle pull and have already messaged all 3 winners so no scam here
I’m sorry but what’s there to give up? I already said earlier that this was closed and that I wouldn’t be doing this again, so there’s nothing to do better. I don’t think this needed to be said…
For anyone that missed the live and would like to watch it, see that nothing questionable happened or was fixed, here is the link to it. Again, I apologize for the long wait and headache everyone.
