What Is This?
The 20/20 Raffle is one of the few ongoing fundraisers sponsored by=
the
parish. All are invited to bu=
y one
or more $20 tickets which are good for 20 weeks in what we call a
“series.” There a=
re two
series per year, the first from February to June, and the second from Septe=
mber
to January. In February 2009,=
we
commenced Series 35 (yes, that’s about 17 years of 20/20 raffles).
Typically, each week=
for 19
weeks, we draw two numbers which win $25 each. We generally do not start drawing
numbers until we are near our 200-ticket goal. If it takes a bit more time to rea=
ch the
200-ticket goal, initial drawings may be delayed, but we make up for that d=
elay
by “postponing” the drawing for the first weeks, then making up=
for
the “skipped” weeks. No
matter when we start, every ticket holder will have a weekly opportunity to=
win
a $25 prize for 19 weeks. On =
the 20th
week, a “final” series drawing is held with prizes of $500, $30=
0,
two at $100, and two at $50.
Winners are listed in the bulletin and are posted in the Winners sec=
tion
of this website sidebar. All
proceeds outside the awarded prizes benefit the parish. Tickets are usually =
sold
after Masses at the beginning of the series and are always available at the=
St.
Catherine rectory or at the
