I'm on a Facebook page called Vale RC and they do raffles every so often, they don't seem to make a massive profit out of it, probably only a few quid,I've had some good wins over the last year, the most recent being a Tamiya TT02 and a Typhon 6s with batteries, charger and chassis plate, I worked it out the other day and the money I spent on raffles I could have bought the Typhon but I have had around 10 cars, 2 boats, tools, carry case and a few other bits and bobs
