Welcome
annual PENNY SALE - 1st saturday in novembeR
2024 Suncook Valley Rotary Penny Sale FAQ
What’s a penny sale?
A penny sale is a raffle where you purchase tickets to win prizes. This year, we’re selling a sheet of 25 regular tickets and 1 door prize ticket for $5 or 6 sheets for $20. Essentially, each chance to win costs pennies, thus the name penny sale.
This year we’ll follow the same format as last year where you choose what you want to win. You’ll separate your tickets and choose to enter for the prizes you want most. We have some amazing prizes for raffle including cash, gift cards, lottery tickets, sled, TV, fine jewelry, treats, toys, bicycle, microwave, home décor and more. There’s something for everyone!
In addition, we’ll have a 50/50 raffle and Super Mega Awesome raffle. In a 50/50 raffle, we give ½ of the total money raised to the winner and the other ½ goes to support the work of Suncook Valley Rotary. Last year, the winner won almost $500. In the Super Mega Awesome raffle, the prizes are a little more expensive and the tickets cost a little more. Prices are below.
How much do tickets cost?
Sheets of raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20.
50/50 tickets are $1 each or 10 for $5.
Super Mega Awesome raffle tickets are $1 each or 15 for $!0.
Please note: Tickets are cash only. There are several ATMs nearby if you need cash.
