Myth: You have to purchase a lot of tickets to win a prize.
Busted: The fact is that most of the top winners have purchased just one ticket. We notify the top 50 winners of each raffle by phone, and most have told us they bought one ticket—or at most, a pack of three. The bottom line is that each and every ticket has the same 1-in-18 odds of winning a prize.
Myth: The prizes are donated to the Raffle.
Busted: It would be impossible to acquire 10,000 or more donated prizes for each Health & Wealth Raffle. Most charitable raffles that rely on donated prizes give away only a few prizes. Instead, the Health & Wealth Raffle manager negotiates good prices for our prizes and when possible, buys from Arizona businesses. That’s good for Arizona’s economy!
Myth: The prizes aren’t all awarded.
Busted: The fact is we’ve awarded more than 60,000 prizes over the course of our first seven Health & Wealth Raffles. Every prize has been awarded.
Myth: The Health & Wealth Raffle generates a lot of money for research, medical education and care for those in need at St. Joseph’s and Barrow.
This one is NOT a myth, and we hope it’s a message you’ve heard loud and clear. Raffle dollars are enabling St. Joseph’s Foundation and Barrow Neurological Foundation to invest as many as 10 million new dollars each year in projects that are critical to the hospital’s and our community’s health. That’s why we like to think of the Health & Wealth Raffle as a win-win- win situation: prizewinners win, Arizona businesses win, but most importantly, patients win with the improved healthcare made possible by the Health & Wealth Raffle.
