I agree with lots of the comments so far.
Personally, being on a fixed income, $5 a ticket would be a bit steep for me and I would decline. If it were 3 for $5, I would feel my chances were improved to win, tho I guess they would pretty much remain the same if everyone bought 3 tickets for $5.
I would buy 3/$5, not $5 for one. Even if I knew it was a great cause and the quilt was 'to die for'. Over all these years, I've purchased lots of tickets and haven't won a single quilt.
