Extended description

Here's the pitch:

Reeling from sexual discrimination, advertising expert Penny Mann decides to market her only remaining asset: Herself.

How? (Read more) Here's the pitch:

Reeling from sexual discrimination, advertising expert Penny Mann decides to market her only remaining asset: Herself.

How?

By literally offering herself as the grand prize in a raffle.

A penny raffle.

$0.01/ticket.

Of course, there are other costs, both legal and moral. But Penny always seems one step ahead of the those who invariably seek to shut her down.

Will they succeed? Will the penny raffle find a winner?

Or has Penny herself somehow stacked the deck?

Turing sexual discrimination on its head.

Heads...

...or tails?
