NIC Foundation Really BIG Raffle winner really elated

I just figured it was like a donation because it’s a donation every year because I thought it was a good cause.”

Unlike 2,500 other people, Swider couldn’t attend the festivities at Cheamkwet Park on the NIC campus. But it didn’t matter.

Swider was driving home with his wife, Debbie, after dropping the kids off in Spokane when he received the call from foundation executive director Rayelle Anderson. Swider had purchased one ticket and said he just considered it a donation, as he and his wife had for 11 years of buying Really BIG Raffle tickets.

Instead, they got a really big return on their investment. Full story. Brooke Wolford/CdaPress
