annual PENNY SALE - 1st saturday in november

 
Suncook Valley Rotary Penny Sale
FAQ
What’s a penny sale? 
A penny sale is a raffle where you purchase tickets to win prizes.  This year, we’re selling a sheet of 25 regular tickets and 1 door prize ticket for $5 or 6 sheets for $20.  Essentially, each chance to win costs pennies, thus the name penny sale.
Once you purchase your tickets, you’ll separate your tickets and choose to enter for the prizes you want most.  We have some amazing prizes for raffle including cash, gift cards, fine jewelry, treats, toys, bicycle, food, home décor and more. All the items are perfect for you or for gift giving.
In addition, we’ll have a 50/50 raffle. In a 50/50 raffle, we give ½ of the total money raised to the winner and the other ½ goes to support the work of Suncook Valley Rotary.  You must be present to win for all raffles.
 
How much do tickets cost? 
Sheets of raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20. 50/50 tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5 or 30 for $20. Tickets can be purchased with cash or cards.
 
Do you take cards for payment?
Yes.
