[fudded]

After a pretty bad flying (another story) I decieded to have a couple of quick pints, the landlady, whom I am not fond of tried to bagder me into buy some raffle tickets. There are posters on the bar of unforunate ill children. I normally just just dip my hand into my pocket and chuck a fiver over, but something didnt ring true, this is how it works

There are 300 tickets
If you pick ticket 1 it costs you 1p. If you pick ticket 150 it costs £1.50.
Ticket 300 is £3.00.
I hope you get the idea

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Blue"]Surely it depends on if you sell all of the tickets or not ?
