The 2010 Iditarod Winter Raffle officially sold out at approximately 2:30 pm Alaska time on Saturday, April 10th. The Winter Raffle is one of the Iditarod’s largest fundraisers. The revenue generated from this raffle goes toward staging the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
The outpouring of support by Iditarod Race Fans throughout Alaska and around the world was instrumental in helping the Iditarod Trail Committee (ITC) meet its goal of selling every ticket in the Winter Raffle.
On Sunday, April 11th, the ITC will announce the winners of the 2010 Winter Raffle at the Great Alaskan Sportsman Show in Anchorage. The drawing will begin at 5 pm Alaska time. Twenty winners will be announced at that time, and four of those winners will each receive a brand new Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4X4 Pickup Truck valued at $42, 295. More than $200,000 in prizes will be given away at that time.
Please log on to www.iditarod .com, Sunday night, to see who the 2010 Winter Raffle winners are after they are announced.
The Iditarod Trail Committee would like to thank all those participants who donated to the 2010 Winter Raffle. Thank you for helping us stage “The Last Great Race on Earth.”
