Tickets were sold at participating credit unions (with a signed permission agreement) during the month of November, with December 1st being the last day to purchase tickets. A big thank you and shout out to everyone that purchased tickets this year as well as the many credit unions across both North and South Dakota that made contributions to support our prize offerings! We appreciate you helping us make this another successful Holiday Raffle.
