For example, the first ticket number drawn will win $100.

In the event all 230 tickets are not sold, the last remaining number will be awarded the Grand Prize. 5. There will be a brief break for the 5 remaining ticket holders to assemble in the front of the room. Each person will blindfolded so they can’t not see how the other ticket holders respond. Each Ticket holder will be asked to raise their hand if they wish to continue. If one person indicates they want to play on, blindfolds will be removed, and the drawing will continue with the next number being pulled will be out of the drawing. Blindfolds will be placed again on the remaining ticket holders and we will repeat the process. If no one indicates they want to play, all remaining ticket holders will share the final prize of $5000.00 equally 6. Individual winners will be responsible for any taxes. 7.
