Last year this raffle helped many families with tuition costs and the schools were able to improve educational programs and technology. The goal of this raffle is for our community to sell 2500 tickets by February, 2015. Each ticket will cost $50.00 and can be sold anywhere as the winner does not need to be present to win. The Grand Prize of this raffle will be $25,000 towards the purchase of a car from McHugh's Dodge Jeep of Zanesville, with an alternate cash option of $20,000 available in lieu of the car*. The final drawing will be held at a Rosecrans High School home basketball game during the month of February. In addition, ten $500 drawings will be held, one for every 250 tickets sold.
