About one out of every three tickets wins a prize. The last ticket drawn wins the grand prize and the second to last ticket wins $1,000.

About 75 percent of the funds raised are used for youth services, including the YMCA Strong Kids campaign and Hodag Run, scholarships to Rhinelander High School seniors, the Oneida County Health Departments pre natal programs, Headwater’s Birth to Three program, Family Resource Connection, youth sport organizations and many more groups. 

The balance has gone to support community organizations like WXPR, the Rhinelander District Library, Rhinelander food pantries and others.
