whisky raffle
Sep. 12th, 2022 09:16 pmEvery year my Scottish club has a raffle as a fundraiser. The main item is a custom made kilt. Then there are whiskies as additional prizes. This year, they asked the whisky masters to choose the whiskies.
There are three of us, so Larry and I drove to Illinois one night, to get the whiskies. One cost $50, one cost $100, and the third cost $150. I was pleased with my selections. Then there were three gift certificates of the same values, for a liquor store.
We had the drawing at tonight's meeting. I was kinda hoping to win the kilt, but I did not. Then they said they would draw for the whiskies, and asked which one was next. I asked "high or low?" and they said high. So I told them which one that was, and they drew my name! Then they asked me which was next, and I told them, and they drew my wife's name! She just joined a month ago. Then they gave away the third whisky. Then, for the first gift certificate, of $150, they drew my dad's name! He's the third whisky master. So our family got half the whisky prizes!
Members get the raffle tickets automatically, with their dues. A little bit after the drawing, I realized that they don't normally give raffle tickets to new members. I asked the treasurer about this, and he said that he's decided to add them into the drawing, just to make things easier. So we really lucked out!
