Wow, that's pretty lame. So, dumb question, but did his wife actually leave him, or was that his excuse for the whole thing? I mean, it does seem convenient that just a couple days before the raffle ended (maybe once the donations had slowed down or stopped coming in to his house?) that all this happens and suddenly he has to end the raffle?

Regardless of what happened Saxman, I don't really see any reason why you should feel like you have anything to be ashamed of. I guess at least it helped you out some.
