What is a Norm a thon?

[chuckacosta]

That is usually when I avoid The Ticket altogether. Listening to Norm always beats me down.

Your EV is -$77.93 per ticket. Good luck!

[Sgt Beavis]

$100 for a VERY good cause and a 1 in 1500 chance at a Caddy. Sure, why not..

BTW, 854 tickets left. What happens if they don't sell 1500 tickets? There were no rules on the site. Just better odds for ticket buyers or do they have a minimum sale cutoff?

[Nash B.]

The website implies that there's no minimum (or the minimum has been reached). At 650 tickets, that brings your expected value up to -$49.08.

[EW]

It will sell out.

[Sgt Beavis]

It will sell out.

Certainly. These things rarely don't. Especially when you have a popular personality like Norm working with a very good charity.

[Cannon88]

It sells out every year.
