Kiwanis selling 2020 lottery raffle tickets

The following is a release from the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City.

Every year, the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City holds several fundraisers like 3 Annual Pancake Breakfasts, a Wine Tasting/Auction, for examples, but the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented them from happening. However, the club still needs to raise money to support their programs benefiting local youth and other community service organizations like Worcester Gold, for example. Therefore, the local club is running their "Kiwanis Lottery Raffle", selling the tickets NOW for the year-long 2021 drawings. All sales must be completed by December 31, 2020 to be eligible. All Kiwanis members have tickets to sell and the club will also have a sales table at the Ocean Pines Farmer's Market most Saturdays from 8 AM until 1 PM, starting August 22.  

How it works: Tickets are numbered 000 through 999 which allows them to tie-into the daily MARYLAND EVENING "PICK 3" drawing. For only $20 a ticket, the purchaser gets 365 drawings, for their ticket number. Payouts are $20 per evening except for 17 special dates when the winnings are higher, namely, $50 to $250. All proceeds benefits support local Scholarships and Youth Programs.
