Cash Raffle
This Year’s Raffle Features:
- $1,000 Cash Prize drawing every night, Monday through Friday
- $10,000 GRAND CASH PRIZE drawing on Saturday Night
Raffle Tickets
Raffle tickets will be mailed to all registered parish families. Since the Raffle goes such a long way in ensuring the financial success of the Parish Fair, please do your best to either purchase or sell all the tickets you receive. We invite each registered family to buy or sell one book of tickets; each book contains 14 tickets at $5.00 each, but a full book is discounted to $60.00—meaning if you sell 12, you get two for free!
Return Instructions: Please return payments, filled out ticket stubs, and any unsold tickets in a sealed envelope labeled "Cash Raffle." These may be dropped off at the office, placed in the mailbox, or included in the Sunday collection basket. Please make checks payable to "St. Paul of the Cross Parish." Additional ticket packets are also available upon request.
Important Reminder: Please make sure to return only the ticket stubs (the smaller portion with your contact information) and not the raffle tickets themselves to the parish office.
Early Bird Drawing: All ticket stubs returned by 4:00 PM on May 29th are eligible for our Early Bird Drawing! The winner receives a free book of tickets, and the seller wins $50.00. (The winning ticket will be re-entered for the nightly drawings!)
