Not sure if payment page really works. I tried entering a number for tickets and the amount remained $0.

Huh.. I can't get that to happen. Can you try refreshing. Sorry! I'll keep investigating.

Best of luck!

Side comment on: Raffle Creator -- while I love the idea I question the legality of it. While looking into doing various contest/raffle apps myself I was always stonewalled with legal issues. IANAL but I believe anytime you cross money with pure luck it is considered gambling and must be regulated.

It looks like we're going to spending most of time in-depth with Quirky and Fab if everything well, but we're looking for one more company to visit as well.

Why don't they just pay for you to intern there? Sounds like a fantastic opportunity for both sides.
