11TH ANNUAL BIG RED BLOWOUT WINNERS ANNOUNCED

by Aug 28, 2019MOJO Blog0 comments

(Kearney, NE) – 5,082 tickets filled the tumbling brass raffle ticket drum.  They were all mixed and ready for the winning tickets to be drawn.  Before a joint meeting this morning of the Kearney Dawn and Noon Rotary Clubs, ten tickets were drawn to determine the 2019 Winners. 

The 10 winners spanned across the District from Minden to Valentine, from nine unique clubs and 10 different individual ticket sellers.  For the first time, RYLA campers were given the opportunity to raise funds through their sales and 75% of the ticket revenue will be returned to the sponsoring club, to be used for future camper registrations. One of our 10 winners was sold by a RYLA camper!

And the winners are, Drum roll please…
