If someone has posted this before, I apologize, but RocketRaffle.com is looking for people who would be interested in buy $50 raffle tickets for a chance to ride a Soyuz to the International Space Station. They haven't started the program yet, but are looking for people to sign a non-binding pledge that they would buy tickets. http://www.rocketraffle.com/

And I'm going to afford the $8M tax on that prize how, exactly?

Didn't a Texas company hold a similar type lottery for a ride to Mir, only to be stopped by the US government? Anybody remember this?

I don't remember whether or not that Texas thing was associated with Space Commerce Corporation or not, but it was ultimately shut down because there was a problem with Texas gaming law.

It should be noted that Space Adventures, Ltd. (for whom I used to work) owns the sole rights to transport the next four private space explorers (i.e. tourists) aboard Soyuz TMA spacecraft to the ISS between 2004 and 2007. I cannot find any mention of a marketing agreement with SA on the RocketRaffle website. One might want to inquire how they plan to purchase a seat to the ISS if you intend to pledge to buy tickets.
