Reverse Raffle

What is a Reverse Raffle?

This raffle is just the opposite of a regular raffle where you want your name to stay in the barrel and be the LAST name drawn out. In this crazy backwards raffle, 250 raffle tickets will be sold. Each ticket gives you the opportunity to win all sorts of cash and prizes throughout the night but ending in the grand prizes. The last three names drawn out will receive $1000, $2500 and $5000 respectively. But that’s not all, names drawn all night long will also win cash amounts or great gift cards and other prizes from our community.

Will we have to sit and wait for 250 names to be drawn out?

Actually yes, but there will be no down time. In between the names being drawn out we’re going to have an entertaining assortment of activities for you to participate in. We’ll have a couple rounds of bingo, a 50/50 drawing, Trivia games, a live and silent auction and even ROOMBA wars to watch and bet on! From a charming emcee, to a lively auctioneer and all of the fun and games you can imagine, this night will be EXCITING culminating with somone winning $5000!!!

What are Roomba Wars?

We will take 4 Roomba vacuums and place them in a boxed in area. Each Roomba will have a colored balloon on one end and a knife on the other. You can bet on which color of balloon will be the last to be popped. We will start the Roombas and let them twist and turn around in the box until some knives pop other’s balloons until there is only one colored balloon left. At that point, we’ll draw a name from the bowl of everyone who bet on that colored balloon. The name we draw will win a new Roomba style vacuum.

What other games will you do?

• Envelope Game – We’ll place Envelopes on everyone’s table. You can place your name on the envelope and put anywhere from $2 – $50 in your envelope. We’ll pick these up at the end of the night. We’ll draw one envelope from the mix and whoever’s envelope we draw will win 10X the money they put in the envelope up to $500.

I bought one ticket but it says food for two?

Each ticket is good for one chance at the raffle but each ticket holder can bring one guest for this meal and night of fun. Did we mention there will also be free beer for the ticket holder and their guest?

What time does it start?

The meal will be served at 6:00 pm but we’d like you to come right away at 5:00 pm, grab your first drink, visit with your friends, look at the auction items and decide which games you’d like to play for the night! There will be all sorts of shenanigans happening even before the night gets started!
