The donation window is 24/7/365, but the raffle window is only for a 23 hour period from 10/25/2014 8AM CDT to 10/26/2014 7AM CDT.
This is because the Extra Life "day of games" is October 25th and that's what I'm participating in by doing my 24-hour livestream. The raffle is a way to bring attention to the cause and give people some incentive to throw their money at charity. RMT is also strictly forbidden on this server and as such the license for the raffle needed to be very clear and not be too bloated time-wise.
As for the item unlocks, I'm still not even sure if I'm going to do that. I may just put everything in a pool, have the raffle system draw names (weighted based on # of tickets) and award the items in order of most valuable to least valuable. The reason I don't have this set in stone yet is I'm still receiving offers from people who would like to donate their high-value item to the cause. By the time I start the stream/raffle at 8AM on 10/25 I will have the final award system worked out and clearly stated.
