WIN BIG raffle raises nearly 60 thousand dollars

The winner of Interlakes Area United Way’s annual WIN BIG raffle was announced last night at halftime of the DSU Ag Bowl football game in Madison.  

Interlakes Area United Way had 750 -100 dollar tickets for sale this year, with the chance of winning a new Case IH Farmall 35A Tractor.  The tractor, which retails for nearly  38-thousand dollars, was donated by Lake County International, a premier sponsor and longtime supporter of Interlakes Area United Way.

The lucky ticket drawn for the tractor belonged to Jim Larson.  

Ticket sales raised nearly 60-thousand dollars for the Interlakes Area United Way, which  will eventually be passed along to community service programs and non-profit agencies in Lake, Miner, and Moody counties.
