Really BIG Raffle deadline looms

POST FALLS – Today is the deadline to qualify to win two early bird prizes in the North Idaho College Foundation’s 14th annual Really BIG Raffle. Those who purchase a $100 raffle ticket by deadline will be automatically entered into a drawing for a $500 Costco Gift card or a Bed and Breakfast Getaway.

More than 3,000 tickets have already been sold for the chance to win a $300,000 custom home built by students in the NIC Carpentry program.

The house is currently under construction at 1649 Umpqua Court, in the Montrose subdivision. This year’s house has a multilevel floor plan with over 3,400 square feet of living space.

Features include maple cabinets, wood laminate flooring, tile accents, gas fireplace, soaking tub in the master bathroom, finished three car garage and composite deck, all set on a private landscaped corner lot.

Other prizes in The Really BIG Raffle include a $20,000 car, $10,000 boat, $3,500 travel package or the $2,000 shopping spree.

Tickets are $100 each and only 5,000 tickets will be sold before the July 11 drawing. Winners do not need to be present to win.

Proceeds from the Really BIG Raffle benefit important educational needs at NIC.

The tickets cannot be mailed out of state due to federal regulations. Out-of-state residents must purchase tickets at one of the ticket outlets or by phone if mailed to a friend or family member with an Idaho mailing address.
