- Fort Lauderdale, FL (1888PressRelease) February 15, 2012 - Avazoo Corp confirmed today that they are awaiting important developments to complete before the official launch of the worldwide Billion Dollar Raffle.
According to a statement issued on their website Avazoo.com they are awaiting the outcome of some exciting developments that would make it possible for more people to participate in the raffle especially those in the Unites States. These developments may make it possible for consumers in the US to purchase tickets online in some states and to buy a ticket at a physical location in others.
Avazoo Corp had always intended to exclude the American market altogether believing that the Wire Act and other possible legislative roadblocks would make it too difficult to sell raffle tickets in the country. However, in recent weeks the Department of Justice announced that the Wire Act only applies to sports betting and a number of states are already moving to allow online gambling activities.
The company is also currently in discussions with Native American tribes to acquire the land required to build the C.H.I.E.F. foundation in the United States which would be their preference and would create thousands of jobs. The Children's Health & International Education Foundation is designed to accommodate up to 2000 children from around the world and provide them with a quality practical education geared to their region of the world so that they may return to their community and become a catalyst for change.
A spokesman for Avazoo explained why the company is willing to delay. "We are very excited and anxious to launch the worldwide Billion Dollar Raffle but recent developments have provided us with potential opportunities we didn't think would be possible a year ago. The raffle has been more than 5 years in design and development and obviously the potential of selling tickets to US residents would have a large impact on our marketing efforts. On that basis we believe the delay in launching is justified."
Tickets for the Billion Dollar Raffle will be available for purchase via the internet in every country where it is legal to do so and where permitted they will also be available through retail locations. In some countries raffle tickets will only be available for purchase through licensed gaming entities such as casinos.
The billion dollar raffle is the world's biggest prize draw event with a first prize of one billion dollars, a 1 in 3 chance of winning a cash prize, the ability to earn unlimited free entries into the draw and the chance to win fabulous monthly prizes.
The Billion Dollar Raffle was specifically designed by a group of socially-conscious entrepreneurs as a vehicle to raise significant funding for global charitable causes. Avazoo firmly believes the Billion Dollar Raffle will capture the imagination of millions of people around the world and has the potential to become the most successful philanthropic event in history.
The company plans to distribute 40% of its net revenue to projects that support the United Nations Millennium Development Goals worldwide, as well as other worthy causes. The raffle provides a great vehicle for the people of the world to contribute and support good causes, while enjoying themselves and having fun playing the game at the same time.
