How does a Calcutta work?
Balls numbered 1 – 98 are placed in a machine and are drawn out 1 at a time. We will pay $100 for the 1st, 10th,20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th,80th,90th ball that is drawn OR you could have the option to put the ball back into the machine for a chance at the grand prize. If your ball is drawn outside of those winning slots, you are out of the running for the $3,500 Grand Prize…. unless you win a raffle ball.
Raffle Balls
Two balls #99 & 100 and NOT placed in the machine at the start of the event. We will be raffling off balls #99 and 100 the night of the event.
The Final 10
Once we have 10 balls left, the chances of winning the jackpot of $3,500 is 1 in 10. This is a special group to be part of.
At any time prior to the next ball being pulled, the finalists can agree to split the jackpot and the event ends, but this decision must be unanimous. If not unanimous then a ball is pulled, and that person loses their chance to win. This continues until the finalists all agree to split or there is only 1 person left.
Silent Auction
In addition to the Calcutta, we are offering a silent auction that ends prior to The Final 10. The auction winners are announced, and winners will go home with their prizes
