I would arrange for a second auction and give %10 of the proceeds to my church and donate the rest to gulf-coast relief. (At least that's what I tell God when I'm praying that I win that ring!)

I wonder what the quality is. I looked at some Super Bowl rings on Ebay and several of the auctions specifically state that the rings are staff rings and do not contain real diamonds.


The sight says its the same ring as the players.

the ring it self is work over 500,000 dollars

Also, although this experience of a lifetime is priceless, the value of the tangible prizes (e.g., as applicable in any given raffle, hotel, travel, meals, tickets, taxes, etc.) is $7,200.00.

not sure if this means everything but the ring or including the ring...But i would imagine the ring has to be worth more than 7 grand...

I don't give away things I've wait 43 years for.

I would make a display case for it. Take a picture to be made into a postcard, and mail it to the residents in Minnesota.

Not even close. NFL puts up $5,000 per ring for the winning franchise. If the design the team chooses costs more per ring, then the team covers the rest. Nowhere near 500,000.

I would bet each ring would be somewhere between 5,000 - 15,000 depending on the diamonds and metals used.

I would take a bunch of pics with it, then sell it for salt water taffy. A whole lot of salt water taffy.

A good friend of mine has a Superbowl ring. I am just going to suggest that if you are a single man, you wear it at least once to a titty bar before you decide if you really want to sell it.

I wouldn't wear it daily, but I would wear it.

I would tell everyone who asked, I'm the guy that won it in the raffle.

Besides the fact that the money is going to a good cause the Saints giving a ring to the "fans" shows that the fans were a part of this championship as well.

I would wear the ring. Then find the CEO of BP and punch him in the head with it. I think he would look good with a fleur de lis imprinted on his head.



Then return it back to the Saints to raffle again.

I don't think that I would sell the greatest piece of Saints memorabilia for a short term gain. I have been a fan for all of my 34 years on Earth, and could not imagine letting go of this ring. I could use the money, but I think that I would beat myself up more for selling it than keeping it. It would be my safety net if times did get rough, but I look down other roads before that would happen.

I would wear it to places I know I would be fine wearing it. This is the most sought after piece of jewelry in the city, or gulf coast region, and people will want to see it up close. You can get yourself into some trouble just wearing it. I more than likely will lock it up for safety.
