The Fort Atkinson Lions Club has announced the winner of its March Madness Raffle.
The $500 St. Patrick’s Day pick was Bonnie Schaefer of Fort Atkinson. The winning ticket was drawn at noon on March 17th at the Fort Atkinson Municipal Building. (It apparently was the luck of the Irish as Bonnie has Irish ancestors!)
However, there are many more winners. A drawing is held on all Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in March. The winning ticket wins $100, but the March 5th and 22nd winners receive $200. Once a ticket is drawn, it is returned to the ticket pool, so buyers can win multiple times!
“Only 325 tickets were printed and we sold every one of them!” said Lion Michelle Ebbert, who is heading the March Madness ticket project. “The participation in this activity exceeded expectations. With the popularity of this fundraiser, we are excited that a spring raffle will be part of our annual activities moving forward.”
The printing of the tickets was donated by Yerges Van Liners, Inc., operated by Lions E.G. Becker and Kevin Becker.
Lion Michelle Ebbert contacts Bonnie Schaefer of Fort Atkinson to let her know that she is the lucky winner of $500.
