President Obama has been attending fancy dinners for weeks with campaign donors who give more than $30,000.

But the campaign announced Wednesday it will have a much smaller asking price for one meal: $5.

In a fundraising appeal signed by the president himself, the Obama re-election campaign is saying anyone who donates at least $5 on Wednesday automatically is placed into a lottery for a dinner with Obama. Four donors will get to attend the dinner, which does not yet have a date or a location.
