The Estevan Royal Canadian Legion is holding its third annual truck raffle. Tickets are currently being sold for $100 each.
The proceeds from the raffle give the legion the means to support veterans and their families, as well as make donations within the community.
This year’s main prize is a 2019 Chevy Silverado sponsored by Murray GM. There is a second prize of $10,000 and a third prize of $5,000. The main draws will be made Dec. 31. There will also be three early bird draws of $1,000 each; dates for those draws are unknown at the moment.
Jim “Frosty” Forrest, president of the Estevan legion branch, says there are only 1,500 tickets being sold.
“The money is all local. Because we’re only selling 1,500 tickets the odds of winning are really good.”
Forrest goes on to say, “the community support for this event has always been great, it allows us to continue doing it, and enables us to do the charitable things we’re supposed to be doing and thanks to Murray GM, they really help us out with this.”
If anyone wants to purchase tickets, they are being sold at the Estevan Legion, Murray GM or they accept e-transfer to truck.raffle@sasktel.net.
Forrest said, “If you want to take a look at the truck you can drive by Murray GM and it’s sitting out there covered in decals, we will also be out and about at different events with the truck, selling tickets.”
