Raffle - do you need to be present to win? Good question...
No - you DO NOT have to be present to win!
We understand that some folks can only come for the earlier hours of the event but still would like to participate in the raffle. This way you still can!
We will have to take your winnings home and contact you to arrange a pick up, but we're willing to do that. If necessary we'll even ship the item to you at your expense if that's the easiest way to get you your winnings.
If you want a friend to take your winnings home - make sure they have the 'keep this' half of the ticket simply to match up the winning number.
If you leave before the raffle...here's what you need to do:
While you do not have to present to win, you MUST put your full name and best phone number to reach you on the back of each ticket you enter in our raffle.
Please make it legible so we can easily reach you. We will have pens available at our raffle booth.
If you plan to see the raffle through to the end, you don't have to put your name on your tickets to keep things moving along, but it seems that taking the time to put your name & phone number on the back of the tickets will be worthwhile.
If we pull the winning ticket and there is no name and phone number on the back of the ticket, we will call out that winning number, if no one present responds in a reasonable amount of time, we'll simply pull a new winning ticket until some yells "Hey, that's me!" or we draw a ticket with a name/number written on the back - if we call your name and you're present - come forward to verify the winning number and we'll hand you your sweet new raffle prize.
That was a good question - I hope my explanation is clear as I want everyone to be a winner on Sunday! :thumbsup:
