How the Best for Last Countdown Raffle Works
Tickets are pulled out one by one. The first and one hundredth
tickets out win a pair of round trip tickets to Denver courtesy
Great Lakes Aviation. Every 25th ticket pulled(except #100)
wins a cash prize provided by Santel Communications based on its
rank; i.e. the 25th ticket out wins $25, the 50th ticket out wins
$50 and so on.
When only ten tickets remain, the 201st
ticket is auctioned off. When seven tickets remain, 202nd
ticket is auctioned off. The holders of the last five
remaining tickets have the option of splitting the pot. If even one
holder wants to continue, another ticket is drawn eliminating one
ticket holder and the remaining ticket holders again have the option
of splitting the pot. This continues until everyone agrees to
split the pot or there is one ticket remaining. The last ticket
remaining is the winner.
The winner will receive at least $5,000.
If more than 100 tickets are sold, the winner will receive half of
the original ticket sales (does not include auctioned tickets).
If all two hundred tickets are sold, the winner will receive
$10,000. |
