What Makes 605 Raffles Different

💻 Online Ticket Sales
Tickets are sold securely online, so anyone can participate. Your entries are issued sequentially and delivered by email, giving you clear, trackable numbers.

⏸️ Live Pause & Resume
During each early-bird drawing, ticket sales are briefly paused. The highest entry number at that moment is displayed on the Raffle Drawing Board for everyone to see. Once the winning number is created, one digit at a time and entered by the operator when the drawing is complete, sales resume exactly where they left off—no skipped numbers, no confusion.

Transparent Draw Method
Winners are chosen using a unique dice-based drawing conducted live at bingo events. Each drawing is held in public, livestreamed to the 605 Raffles Facebook page, and easy for anyone to follow.

🔢 Sequential Numbers & Player Interaction
Because numbers are issued sequentially, players with the lowest entry numbers at each event (they bought tickets earlier) get a first chance to “guess the next digit.” Each player can try once per event, and a correct guess wins an instant cash prize.

Available Ticket Packages

🎟️ Multiple Chances to Win
Every ticket you purchase stays live for the entire raffle period, covering all early-bird drawings as well as the grand jackpot. Sales pause for each early-bird drawing, the highest entry is displayed, and then sales resume where they left off—only resetting back to #1 once the jackpot is awarded.

The earlier you join, the lower your entry numbers—and the more likely you’ll be invited to guess the next digit and get the chance to throw the dice for extra instant prizes.

❤️ Community Impact
Every raffle supports youth organizations and community projects in Sioux Falls, making sure the fun and excitement translate into real local benefits.

Why It Matters

This combination of online access, live transparency, and player interaction makes 605 Raffles more than just a fundraising tool—it’s a new kind of community experience.

Raffles FAQ

What is the 50/50 raffle?

A 50/50 raffle means the total ticket sales are split evenly: 50% goes to the jackpot winner and the other 50% supports Giving Hope Bingo’s nonprofit mission. It’s a fun way to win while giving back to youth programs and community projects in Sioux Falls.

How do I buy tickets?

You can purchase tickets:

💻 Online through our secure website anytime during the raffle period.
🎱 In person at Giving Hope Bingo sessions, where our team can assist you. Requires email and card or PayPal.

When you buy, you’ll receive sequential entry numbers by email for easy tracking.

When are the drawings?

Early-Bird Drawings happen during bingo sessions, often with fun prizes like gift cards or instant cash bonuses. If you’re present when your number is drawn, your prize may double in cash value.

The Grand Jackpot Drawing is typically held on the last Wednesday of the month at the end of the bingo session. Ticket sales pause for each drawing, and the highest entry number issued is displayed on the Raffle Drawing Board for everyone to see.

Can I share for entries?

Yes! 🎉 Through our Social Sharing program, you can earn free sweepstakes entries just for helping us spread the word. The sweepstakes is completely separate from the paid raffles, but both use the same fair, dice-based method and hardware for selecting winners. By sharing on Facebook, Instagram, or by email, you’ll be automatically entered into our free sweepstakes, which feature smaller prizes throughout the year and build toward a special annual jackpot.

Who benefits from the raffles?

Proceeds from raffles directly support youth organizations and community projects in Sioux Falls. Sweepstakes prizes are funded separately and designed to encourage community engagement.

What is the difference between raffles and sweepstakes?

The raffles and the free sweepstakes are completely separate programs:

🎟️ Raffles require a paid ticket and follow official raffle rules.
🎉 Sweepstakes are free giveaways you can enter by sharing on social media, referring friends, or participating in other community activities.

👉 Both raffles and sweepstakes use the same transparent, dice-based drawing method and hardware, ensuring fairness and consistency across all giveaways.
