  LAST

  RAFFLE 2020

  Enter for a chance to win $10,000 in our reverse raffle - the last person drawn is the winner!  Buy a ticket for one in 252 chances to win. Additional cash and special prizes are awarded through out the night.

  You can be a “lucky loser” with a Loser’s Boost. For an additional $25 a ticket you enter into a separate drawing to win a chance to get back into the drawingfor $10,000 when only two tickets remain. 

  Weekly Early-Bird Drawing: Every ticket purchased will enter a weekly drawing for local vendor prizes until the week of the event. Prizes include gifts from Capital City Wine and Spirits, Guadalajara's, Dairy Queen, Branding Iron, Oahe Light and Sound, Tokyo, and Gallo's!

  Need to buy your luck? You can! We have a silent auction for two bonus tickets, that go back into the drawing when only 8 tickets remain. Join together with friends to bid on one of these valuable chances or buy it yourself!

  Remember, there may be more than one winner! When only five tickets remain, we will call the remaining ticket holders on the phone. These folks will negotiate to split the grand prize or to keep drawing. If they agree to split, they share the prize. If they won’t split, the drawing and negotiations continue until a deal is made or until we have a single winner.

  To keep everyone safe, we will not have a party in 2020, but live broadcast the drawing via KCCR 1240, Oahe TV, and Facebook!

  Support hands-on exploration and get your lucky ticket today!
