Actually, humanesocietynational.org - the one running the raffle, looks like it's in Neward, DE. nationationhumanesociety.org is in Florida.

Being a nerd, I ran nslookup on them. Nationalhumanesociety (not the ones running the raffle) doesn't have any live DNS listings, although they do have a whois listing. The other one does, which jives with their whois data. This does not prove or disprove their validity either way. I, personally, think they're scamming.

The next step is to look up their non-profit charter info. Can't do that from the command line
