So, about this raffle… It’s great! As in other years, the raffle will be broken up into 2 segments. All participants receive 3 tickets for signing up.

Those tickets and any other tickets bought by participants ($1 each or 6 for $5) will go into the drawing for the hourly prizes. After the event, after all the hourly prizes are gone, the participants’ tickets go into the same bin with all the non-player ticket for the grand prize drawing. We would like to encourage any participants to see if any family or friends would like to buy tickets. Last year, the raffle allowed us to donate almost $4,000 dollars to the Boys and Girls club.

Every ticket you sell helps make that amount grow.

And the prizes? We will once again have a number of top shelf prizes that have included a one night stay at Mavis Manor, a signed football from Jim Tressel, and a classic 15″ gumball machine by Carousel. Participants are also eligible for prizes from restaurants, gourmet shops, theatres, sporting goods stores, CDs, clothing, and more.

We have an exciting new promotion to announce. If a participant buys or sells $30 worth of raffle tickets, they will receive 5 FREE raffle tickets in their name for the participant raffle! All participants will be eligible for a maximum of one particpant prize and one grand prize. All particpant tickets that do not win a participant prize will be rolled into the grand prize raffle.

And guess what? The 2009 Raffle prize winners are in! If your name is in the list below and you’ve not claimed your prize, give us a shout and we’ll figure out how to get you your loot! Congratulation to all 2009 Andy 24 Raffle winners!
