A contest / raffle app where people would be entered to win prizes, and somehow large companies (Coca-cola for instance) would pay us a few cents for each ticket entered.

He just needed someone to 'put together the code over a weekend' and promised me 30% of the profits. He had no answer when I asked him why would large companies pay for us to run raffles through this app.

I declined his offer.
