Thanks to a combination of a few generous donations by some great people and a couple of generous upvotes by a whale, we now have over 180 raffle tickets we can GIVE AWAY!
For me to sit here and try to pick and choose the people to give them too seems a little too much like me pretending to be some sort of god. Plus, it is time consuming and would require me to read hundreds of posts to find over 180 people who live in the US or Canada.

Let the Readers Give the Tickets away!
Why not let all of your give away some tickets! Together, all of your know many more people in the community than I do. You know who is working hard to provide for their family and who is trying to help others along the way via Steemit. So all of you should be the ones to give them away.
Rules
1 - Must live in the US or Canada
2 - I prefer people who provide "how to" instructions more than simply showing what they have done, but as long as it is info that would help someone in an emergency/SHTF/grid down (even if temporary)/self-sufficiency type situation, they are welcome. Sotall is about surviving anything that comes our way.
3 - Comment on this post with the persons Steemit Username. Feel free to nominate more than one person.
4 - It is perfectly fine to nominate someone that has already been nominated by someone else. They will get more than 1 ticket as long as we have enough to go around.
5 - It is perfectly fine to nominate yourself, especially if the seeds are something you truly need to be food secure in the future.
6 - Nominations will be accepted until this post pays out.
7 - Any SBD this post earns will be used to provide additional free tickets.
How will I pick who gets the tickets
With over 180 tickets to give away, chances are good every suggested person will get a ticket and there will still be some left over. If we end up with more names than tickets, I'll institute the following.
1 - Each individual name will get one ticket before anyone mentioned a 2nd time gets a 2nd ticket.
2 - If someone is mentioned more than twice, everyone who was mentioned twice will get two tickets before a 3rd is given and so on.
That is all there is too it! Share some love with the people in the community that have helped you and or others the most!
I would like to mention @goldendawne, @derangedvisions and @rakkasan84. The last two are vets. I hope they will help out a little if they can on this contest
