For the first time since the annual raffle began in 2011, the grand prize has increased from $10,000 to $25,000. Since it began, the raffle has generated over $135,000 to benefit our residents in need of financial assistance at St. Joseph’s Home of Springfield, a 501(c)(3) organization. The suggested donation of the raffle ticket remains at $25.

For the 2018 Annual Raffle, the grand prize is $25,000, the second prize is $2,500, and the third prize is $1,000. There are also three Early Bird prizes of $500. Award winners of the Early Bird prizes are returned back to the main drawing for a chance at the top prizes.
