If GLBBS has not sold by 6PM EST on September 3rd, 2021, at least 100 valid raffle tickets and received full payment, therefore, the raffle will convert to a 50/50 raffle utilizing the proceeds of all tickets sold to that point. A random drawing at approximately 7PM on September 3rd, 2021 will take place where half of the dollars raised will be awarded.

Example: 60 tickets sold @ $250 each = $15,000. 50/50 raffle winner will receive $7,500 and GLBBS would retain $7,500.
