Kentucky Charitable Gaming License: ORG0002673. Tickets can be purchased online beginning April 1st, 2025 at 8:00 AM EDT, and all tickets are considered sold in Kentucky when purchased. By purchasing a ticket, each participant agrees to be bound by and adhere to the terms and conditions in these Rules. You may participate by purchasing as many raffle tickets as you wish. However, only 8,500 tickets will be sold. The price of the raffle ticket is $75.00. Every ticket will be issued with a discrete number and that number will not be repeated.
