United Way plans Mega Raffle

The St. Joseph County United Way is making its last call for anyone interested in purchasing a ticket for its annual Mega Raffle fundraiser.
Kelly Hostetler, executive director of the Centreville-based agency, said no more than 330 tickets are being sold at $100 each. The event will generate $17,500 in proceeds for the agency, while the balance will be returned to 26 cash winners selected during the draw-down.
The $100 ticket cost includes admission, a meal and drinks to the Thursday drawing. A guest ticket is $15 and the event takes place at the St. Joseph County Fairgrounds.
The 326th through 330th tickets drawn will receive $1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 and $5,000, respectively. In addition, the first ticket taken from the collection will nets its owner $500.
Tickets are available at the United Way office in Centreville.
Dinner is at 6 p.m. and the drawing commences at 7 o’clock.
