Oktoberfest-RPAC Reverse Raffle

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM) (CDT)

Description

This year's event features two raffle boards with 150 tickets available for each board. Make sure to purchase your tickets ahead of time! The goal is to sell out prior to the drawing on October 1st!


Each ticket includes: 

  • One number on the raffle board
  • Admission for one person
  • Dinner and Dessert (Cash bar available)

How the raffle works: 

  • If your number is drawn, you're out
  • The goal is to be among the last tickets remaining (especially the final 5)
  • The last 5 ticket holders can choose to split the pot
    • If everyone agrees, the pot is split but if anyone declines, another ticket is drawn
    • This continues until there's agreement or one winner remains
    • You must be present to vote on splitting — but not required to be present to win

Buying and Using Tickets: 

  • You can buy as many tickets as you'd like
  • Each ticket grants one entry and one admission
  • Extra tickets purchased can be used to bring guests
  • You may split the cost of a ticket with others, but each ticket still only allows one admission

General Rules:

  • Only ticket holders may attend
  • Guests must enter using an extra ticket
  • Ticket numbers may not be chosen in advance, they will be randomly assigned at the event check-in
