A campaign encouraging donors to pledge a portion of their potential Powerball winnings has made Oorah millions in pledges.
With the Powerball lottery reaching unprecedented heights, Oorah tapped into the hype the jackpot has created to garner pledges before the drawing. Their pitch was simple: we know it’ll be hard to reach you after you win, but we also know you really want to spend your newfound wealth on a great cause. Hundreds of millions in pledges have been pouring in as participants experience what it’s like to be a philanthropist.
“We definitely plan on collecting the amount pledged from the winner, so we encourage donors to make sure their pledges are sincere,” says an Oorah representative.
The campaign’s webpage, www.oorahauction.org/powerballpledge, allows donors to view other pledges in addition to making their own pledge.

I pledge to help build a homeless shelter if I win.
Funny thing is if they would’ve called me tomorrow after I win, I doubt they would’ve gotten through to me 🙂
I pledged 2.5 million to Oorah.
whats the point if noone fr the entire state of nj will win!
Easiest pledge I ever made
It would be my pleasure to donate toOorah too and I would also pay off the mortgage on my schul. I woud also my off the student loans from my nieces and have college funds formy little family members. I also would take my entire family to Israel and leave a ton of money in Israel. I hope someone hears me.
Does any one think this will give them a greater chance? Let me say this if a frum jew wins (IY”H) they should give Oorah the million even without a prior pledge. TRUMP 2016
