What would YOU do with an extra $22,000?

A total of only 2,000 tickets were printed. That means you have a 1 in 2,000 chance of winning up to $22,000.

This 50/50 raffle has a potential $50,000 jackpot; half of the proceeds (after expenses) go to the Y to support our community outreach programs, while the other half goes to the lucky raffle winner, who could be YOU!

Tickets cost only $25 each and will be sold until 5:00 p.m. EST on May 5, 2023. Tickets can be purchased below.

The Raffle will be drawn on May 5, 2023 at 5pm! You do not need to be present to win.

Thank you for supporting the YMCA at Virginia Tech’s Community Outreach Programs by purchasing your ticket(s) for the Luck of the Irish 50/50 Raffle.

This raffle was originally scheduled to be drawn on Friday, March 17 at 7pm. Due to some unavoidable hold ups, ticket sales did not begin as early as originally planned. Unfortunately, this resulted in significantly lower tickets sold than expected.

We’ve put some thought into this situation, revisiting the main purpose of the raffle – to provide a nice jackpot for the raffle winner and strong funds to help support the Y’s outreach efforts. With this in mind, we have decided to extend the raffle in order to build up the potential jackpot – a win/win for us all! Therefore, the Luck of the Irish Raffle will now be drawn on Friday, May 5 at 5pm.

Ticket stubs will be mailed to you after purchase. The important part of the ticket stays with us to be entered into the draw!!

Food for local children in need. Safe spaces for kids to learn and grow. Outreach to seniors who are feeling isolated. Welcoming activities for International visitors and immigrants. Proceeds from the 50/50 Raffle will support YMCA at VT Community Programs such as these and more!
