Schlarman Spring Raffle

Only the first 5,000 tickets registered and processed by the Schlarman Advancement Office will be included in the drawings. The earlier you purchase your ticket the more chances you have to win. Winning tickets go back in for each drawing with the exception of the main drawing where winning tickets are displayed as they are drawn.

Each ticket costs $100 and there is no limit on how many tickets a single individual can purchase. The more tickets you buy the better your odds of winning!

Yes, you can buy multiple tickets with family and friends! Only one (1) individual may be identified as the purchaser (or buyer) of the raffle ticket. You may add up to four additional names per ticket (for a total of 5) at the time of purchase. No additional names may be added after initial ticket purchase. Please note: groups must designate a primary name, address and phone on ticket to be responsible for tax liability. 

Tickets are available for purchase by phone, online at www.schlarman.com, by mail, from one of our dedicated salespersons and at various locations in the Danville area. Yes, you can purchase multiple tickets at one time.

Tickets may be purchased by cash, check, Discover, Visa, MasterCard or American Express. You may mail a check to Schlarman Academy Advancement Office, 2112 N. Vermilion, Danville, IL 61832. You may call to purchase tickets by phone toll free 800-747-0880 or locally 217-442-1184, purchase online at www.schlarman.com or, if you prefer to pay with cash, please call us for a list of local outlets.

The Schlarman Advancement Office will mail a verification postcard (this is your purchase receipt) to the primary registered ticket buyer once your check or credit card has been processed. Please allow 15 business days for your confirmation to arrive. Schlarman Academy and its volunteers assume no liability for lost, late, misdirected, illegible or undelivered entries. Please note you will only receive one verification postcard per order regardless of how many tickets are purchased at that time. Online buyers will not receive a verification postcard as they will receive receipt upon purchase.

Our raffle tickets are numbered by a self advancing numbering machine after they are successfully processed for accounting purposes only. The actual ticket with all name and address information is what is drawn at the drawings. The number has no significance to the ticket buyer.
