IAUW Win Big Raffle Raises over 56 Thousand Dollars to Local Fund Non-profits

The Interlakes Area United Ways Win Big raffle generated $56,400 dollars through the sale of 564 tickets.  The money raised will fund local non-profit organizations serving Lake, Miner and Moody counties.  

 Madison resident Jim Larson was the winner of the Interlakes Area United Way (IAUW) WIN BIG Raffle. Larson took home a 2024 Case IH Farmall 35A Tractor, valued at over $37,000. The tractor was generously donated by Lake County International of Madison.

Larson’s winning ticket was drawn during halftime of the DSU Ag Bowl on Thursday, August 29. He was in attendance and experienced his win firsthand, marking a first for the WIN BIG Raffle. Larson shared that he tries to buy a ticket every year, and this time purchased his winning ticket at the Ag Bowl tailgate.

IAUW’s campaign drive towards 2025 grant funding kicks off October 2 with Dine Out to Donate. Details will be announced soon at interlakesunitedway.org.
