South St. Paul Lions Club – Calendar Raffle

The South St. Paul Lions Club sponsors a Calendar Raffle each year. Nearly $7500.00 is donated to our community and nearly $7,500.00 is given out in prizes. There is at least one raffle winner per day during the month of February. The largest drawing is for $1,000 which is awarded on Valentine’s Day. The BEST PART is each ticket can win multiple times, as winning raffle tickets are returned to the drawing hopper, and are eligible to win more than once!

Tickets cost $10 a piece, and only 1,500 Tickets are sold and are available from South St. Paul Lions Club members starting in the late fall and are terrific gifts or stocking stuffers. Tickets are usually available for purchase at the South St. Paul Lions Christmas Tree sales lot, until they are gone.

* The 2023 live drawing date, time, and place are TBD

This drawing will be for the ENTIRE MONTH'S WINNERS
