Really BIG Raffle drawing goes virtual
The winner of a brand new $394,000 Coeur d’Alene home will be announced Wednesday, July 15, during the North Idaho College Foundation Really BIG Raffle drawing.
Beginning at 7 p.m., the drawing will be livestreamed on the web. The link to view the drawing will be posted at 7 on the drawing page of the raffle website, www.nic.edu/rbr.
The drawing for the sold-out raffle, in its 27th year, is being held virtually in 2020 due to COVID-19. In past years, the annual prize giveaway has attracted over 2,000 ticket holders and their families and friends to gather outdoors on NIC’s Coeur d’Alene campus to listen for their lucky numbers to be announced. This year, raffle ticket holders will enjoy the excitement from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
More than $431,000 in prizes will be awarded Wednesday evening. In addition to the grand-prize, newly constructed home, ticket holders have a chance to win major prizes valued at $20,000; $10,000; $3,500; and $2,000. All ticket holders are also eligible for the two early bird prizes and five bonus prizes this year.
Winners will be contacted the evening of the drawing, and a list of winners will be published at www.nic.edu/rbr.
Proceeds from the Really BIG Raffle fund the learning laboratory for the NIC Carpentry and Construction Technology Program and also support NIC student success and educational excellence throughout North Idaho College.
