The amount of conjecture and opining going on could end up being a barrier for someone who might have help to offer, it's a lot to sift through.

Because in mass raffles are illegal the court could only award me 500 (cost of the tickets and the filing fee )
The mass court clerk set a date for the end of February to give me more time to look into the laws in FL and AZ. to possibly file there instead.
The clerk called ty and asked him if he wanted to make an offer to try to resolve this. He said all he was willing to do was to give me $400
Then the clerk asked him if he was still willing to send me the "tegu" that he claimed to be holding for me. Ty said NO. he said he auctioned off that one and said he didn't have any other ones.
The clerk asked him if he was willing to give me a T+ next year. Ty said NO
So the clerk told me I should prob try and find councel and find out what can be done in maybe his state.
But I think If I filed it in FL it might be the same there too because this raffle that ty/IRCF was illegal as well.
It gets so confusing where there are multiple states involved
The attorney generals in AZ and FL have been notified as well as the AZ gaming commission.
I sent the IRCF a letter asking for my prize and they did respond. Their response I felt was a slap in my face. Included was a check but only for $400 for the cost of the 4 tickets i bought.
I'm not cashing it and we are exploring all othre options
It's pretty clear that ty does not want to give me the prize he promised. .
And it's unfortunate that it had to go this far.
I won a prize and I would like to receive this promised prize. Which was an albino (ty produced) tegu or 3,000
Its been made clear that he can afford to pay $3,000
And I am pretty sure he has a few hold backs that he could offer.
I don't think he is willing to or even want to try and resolve this (he knows that he will only prob have to pay 500 because the raffle was illegal )
I'm very dissapointed in the way he has handled this whole ordeal
