Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Terry has announced a charity raffle for a prize and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity during a press conference after the Mavericks practice on Monday. NetRaffle.org by Celebrities has teamed up with Terry for the fundraiser. The lucky winner will win a replica of Jason Terry’s championship ring and watch the Mavericks take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, April 2. (Editor's note: In the video below, Terry says it's the Lakers, but the Mavericks are scheduled to play the Clippers that day.) The raffle ends March 26, 2012.
