One Huge Raffle Help!!

Ron, I have been waffeling

Some "prizes" are worth less, I tried to group each line item as a prize? Shipping could eat up a lot of donated money (and paypal $1.03 per $25 transaction, $19.72 already), and 14 items shipped priority with confirmation is about $6.00 a shot, 14x6 = $84 by itself.

So, I have been waffeling, if we get a lot more "tickets" sold, then I think it makes sense to break it down, if not, then I don't want to divide it into 14 prizes that doesn't give as much money to the orphanage. Group it into 6 or 8 prizes?

BTW, this is the 3rd (maybe 4th) raffle I have done at the forum, so my fear of costs involved and time involved, shipping, emailing, etc is fairly well founded

Opinions?
