The Golden Ticket Raffle, presented by the Gene Haas Foundation, returns with the opportunity to win a $7,000 prize package for as low as $50 and an updated prize structure, including weekly prize drawings. Three lucky people will win one of three grand packages of their choice. Tickets are now on sale with two options, $50 each or $100 for three.
Introduced in 2022, this modern day version of Willy Wonka’s famed ticket competition helps raise needed funds for Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada, the nonprofit organization that provides invaluable financial education, workforce development and entrepreneurship programs for local K-12 students and young adults.
Golden Ticket Raffle participants will allocate their tickets across three prize buckets of their choice, allowing them to spread them out or concentrate on their preferred package. Separate drawings for each bucket mean three chances to win. Each package has a value of at least $7,000 and includes a variety of sports and vacation packages and other prizes.
The current packages are listed below, but Junior Achievement anticipates adding more items to them.
Bucket One – two roundtrip tickets on Southwest Airlines; eight-day, seven-night Maui getaway with a stay in a studio accommodation at the Kahana Beach Resort; guitar lessons with Ted Sablay of The Killers; signed Shania Twain guitar; Topgolf gameplay for 12, including food and non-alcoholic beverages; professional headshot session by Dragonfly Photography; three bottles of Hall Platinum Wine; $500 toward any purchase at TNT Pawn & Jewelry; One-night stay at the CasaBlanca Resort in Mesquite with one round of golf at the CasaBlanca or Palms Golf Course; and a private wine class for 20 given by Total Wine & More.
