Rules
- Winners will be given the opportunity to stay in the drawing and donate ½ of their winnings to the Club. If winner is not present or they do not want to donate money back to the organization, they will be awarded the $1000 and will leave the game. Raffle will continue.
- 248 tickets are in play at the beginning of the Raffle.
- BGCOR will keep ticket #225. Upon arrival (and up until 224 tickets have been drawn), guests will be given an opportunity to purchase chances to win ticket #225.
- BGCOR will keep ticket #250 for auctioning. Once there are only three tickets still on the game board, ticket #250 will be auctioned to the highest bidder and one of these three will have a chance to win the grand prize of $30,000.
- During intermissions, guests will have the opportunity to sell or buy tickets from one another in order to stay in the game. Wheel and Deal!
- Contestants do not have to be present to win, but it is a good idea to have someone represent you.

Are Nonprofit Raffle Ticket Donations Tax Deductible?
According to the website LegalBeagle, raffle tickets are NOT deductible:The cost of a raffle ticket is not deductible as a charitable contribution, even if the ticket is sold by a nonprofit organization. The IRS considers a raffle ticket to be a contribution from which you benefit. If you receive a benefit from making a donation, you can only deduct the amount of your donation that is greater than the value of the benefit you receive. The IRS explicitly prohibits deducting the cost of raffle tickets as a charitable contribution, presumably because it does not consider the cost of the ticket to be greater than its benefit.
