o       Lucky Dip is a version of the English game, Tomboli, where prizes have numbers that match tickets numbers in a bucket that people buy the opportunity to draw, They have a chance of winning if they drawn a ticket number that matches a prize.

o       HOP will sell the “right to draw�?tickets at the HOP Sales Table that will be in the Pre-Function area right outside the Ballroom doors. The tickets sell for $2 per ticket or 6 tickets for $10.

o       The odds of winning are based on the number of prices for the number of tickets. HOP has enough tickets so that we have one prize for every 3 tickets in the bucket to be drawn. So you have a one in three chance of winning with each of your draws.

o       There are usually between 500 to 600 prizes that is comprised of donations from HBC, Martin Perry, collectors who are attending and dealers (attending and not attending.) The donations are HK figurines and other items that are donated. We may group a couple of lesser valued items so that all prizes are valued at $25 or greater. The majority are HK figurines. Interspersed among the prizes are higher valued items (over $150) to keep up the excitement during the game.

o       Lucky Dip scheduled for the Friday general session.

It’s a Sure Thing 

o       "It’s A Sure Thing" resulted from having some prizes left over after the scheduled time for Lucky Dip during the Seattle event. So the next day, we increased the price per draw to $5, but we removed all losing tickets. That guarantees that you are a winner.

o       It's A Sure Thing will be held during the general session on Saturday morning with the Paint Your Own and the Swap 'n Sell.

We hope you enjoy these activities and we know from experience that you will win a LOT of prizes. So we decided to add a new feature to this year's event. It is the "Lucky Dip Exchange".

Lucky Dip Exchange  

This activity will take place on Saturday afternoon after the "It's A Sure Thing" is held in the morning. You can bring items that you won previously or just extras that you have and exchange them with other collectors. The deals will be strictly between the individuals and HOP will have no part in the exchange.

However we do not want a monetary exchange to occur as that is the basis of the Swap 'n Sell in which this exchange should not compete.

Lucky dip is a great game. jeanne

 

Arr me matey's,

Is it better to try the lucky dip several times with time spaces between the attempts to get lucky OR is it better to plunk all your money down at 1 time & see if you get lucky dipping in the treasure well.

 

What say ye me matey's.
