Winner announced in the Ultimate Plinkster Fun Gun Raffle

Buckeye Firearms Foundation recently completed its last raffle of 2014, selling 1,000 tickets over the holidays.

We've raffled off ARs, shotguns, pocket guns, and all sorts of personal protection hardware. But in the spirit of the holidays, we decided to just have a little fun and put together a plinker package, appropriately called The Ultimate Plinkster Fun Gun Raffle.

With a retail value of about $3,000, the prize package included:

• Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 Rifle
• Magpul Angled Fore Grip
• Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Pistol
• 4 M&P 25 Round Mags
• 4 M&P 22 10 Round Mags
• Silencer Co .22 Sparrow Suppressor
• Silencer Co Sparrow Adapter for M&P 22
• Tax Stamp
• 5,000 Rounds CCI Sub Sonic .22 LR Ammo
• Vortex Sparc II Red Dot
• M&P Single Pistol Case
• M&P Black Backpack
• Black Hawk Sportster AR-15 Rifle Case
• Midland HD XTC400 Camera
• Midland Picatinny Mount

So who's the lucky winner? Michael from Brunswick with winning number 938, selected by the Ohio Pick 3 on January 14, 2015 at 7:29 pm. And Mike wasted no time in driving to Black Wing Shooting Center in Delaware to claim his winnings.

Of course, he'll have to be patient while the paperwork for that nifty little supresser slogs its way through all that red tape. But in the meantime, we're sure he won't mind making a little noise with 5,000 rounds of ammo.

Congratulations, Mike! And a big thank you to the 634 other people who purchased tickets. Proceeds go directly to support the work of Buckeye Firearms Foundation, including our nationally-recognized FASTER teacher training program.
