    Lotterys?

    Just seen a few thread mentioning these.

    I never heard of them before. Someone mentioned about getting them ffrom unopened crates.

    Where do you find these lotteries and location and such?

    Much appreciated.

    Not really a lotto. You buy a bag of 10 nonsexed, CH babys and see what you get. But don't get your hopes up. 99.999995% of them will be normals.

    You are misunderstanding.

    The Ball Python Lottery was a marketing tool used in one set of ads placed by one person. There is NO ball python lottery.....this was the first time someone tried useing the marketing idea....it is not an every year thing.

    You buy a bag of 10 captive hatched imported ball pythons as soon as they are imported into the country. The bags are unpacked out of a crate, put in a box and shipped to you.

    A few people fell for the marketing and bought bags this season thinking that they had a chance to hit it rich with the lottery.....I have not heard of anyone winning millions....or even a few hundred yet...but they have ended up with 10 normal ball pythons each.

    I would definately suggest reading through those threads if you are the slightest bit interested...

    I think this thread speaks volumes as to why I disagreed with this marketing strategy from the beginning...

    I think the thread with 200+ posts is hidden away in the Quarantine room and I don't know if N4S has permissions to view it.
