How Does It Work?
Envelopes
Participants purchase envelopes to be entered into a drawing to win one of 50+ baskets or cash prizes. Amount shown on envelope determines cost and the amount of entries in the drawing. Envelopes number 1 – 200.
For example, envelope #1 will cost $1 and will give you 1 chance to win a prize. Envelope #30 will cost $30 and will give you 30 chances to win prizes.
There is no limit to how many prizes you can win.
Plus, thanks to our Willy Wonka sponsor, Porte Brown, there are additional chances to win throughout the night.
*Some baskets may contain alcohol. Must be 21 to purchase envelopes and accept prize.
Golden Tickets
5 random envelopes will have an instant cash prize of $100 donated by Gary Lang Auto Group. If your envelope contains a golden ticket, you may redeem it at the McHenry Area Chamber office (1257 N. Green Street in McHenry) for $100 cash!
VIP Event and Live Stream Raffle Pull
Our raffle pull will be live-streamed on March 6 from 7-9pm thanks to our Wonkavision Sponsor, McHenry Ace Hardware!
Join us in person for the live-stream raffle pull!
March 6 from 6-9:30pm at Metalwood Grille
$40 ticket includes 2 drink tickets courtesy of Duane Blanton Family Home Services, gourmet charcuterie box (crackers, cheese, meat, fruit), 1/2 lb. box of Riverside Chocolate Factory assorted chocolates, and additional game opportunities.
To keep everyone safe, we are limiting the in-person event to only 50 tickets. All others may watch the livestream event through YouTube. (The link will be added to this page closer to the event.)
Can’t be there in person but still want to join in on the fun?
Order a VIP Package to be delivered to your home or office the day before the event!
$40 VIP at Home package includes wine split, gourmet meat, cheese and crackers, 1/2 lb. box of Riverside Chocolate Factory assorted chocolates, and an additional game opportunity.
COVID Considerations
To keep everyone safe, we are limiting the in-person event to only 50 tickets. All others may watch the livestream event through YouTube. (The link will be added to this page closer to the event.)
Our hope is that we will remain in Phase 4. However, if we are unable to have our in-person event due to COVID restrictions, we will still have the live-streamed raffle pull, along with the additional game opportunities. Those who purchased an event ticket will instead receive a VIP at Home package delivered to their home/office the day before the live stream.
Seating will be available for all ticket holders. Attendees must wear a mask unless they are seated at a table.
Please do not attend if you or someone you live with is sick or has been exposed to the virus. No refunds will be given; however, tickets are transferable and may be used by anyone over 21.
Below is a list of our raffle baskets and their winners.
Thank you to everyone who purchased envelopes for the event!
