Toledo raffle guide with current ticket prices, sale dates, charity uses, and two 2026 drawings to skip.
For Toledo readers in October 2026, the three current local raffles worth checking are the Greater Toledo Home Giveaway, Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity's Bourbon that Builds, and Clutched for a Cause 2026. A raffle is a licensed fundraiser where you buy a ticketed chance to win a prize. This guide focuses on what you can still enter, what tickets cost, and what to skip.

Which Toledo raffles can you still enter?
The Greater Toledo Home Giveaway is selling $100 tickets from Sept. 15, 2026 through April 15, 2027 or until 10,000 tickets sell, with three Early Bird drawings plus a Grand Prize drawing, according to the Greater Toledo Home Giveaway's Raffle Rules page Raffle Rules. That long window makes it the main home-prize option for fall and winter.
Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity is offering Bourbon that Builds for a rare bottle of Weller Millennium, with 100% of proceeds benefiting its affordable-housing programs, according to the Habitat raffle page. Clutched for a Cause 2026 is scheduled Nov. 6, 2026, 5-9:30 p.m.
at Toledo Country Club, 3949 River Road, and advertises event raffles at about 2 for $10, 5 for $20, and 20 for $75, according to the Eventbrite organizer listing organizer listing.
What do tickets cost and what limits apply?
Greater Toledo Home Giveaway tickets are digital, each ticket equals one chance to win, and purchases are nonrefundable, according to the Greater Toledo Home Giveaway's FAQs page FAQs. A ticket buys a chance to win, not a guaranteed benefit or refund. Clutched for a Cause uses lower-priced, in-person bundles, while the home giveaway uses a single $100 entry price.
Before you buy, check these points:
- Sale dates and sellout cap
- Ticket price and how many chances it buys
- Refund rule and digital delivery
- Named charity receiving net proceeds
Which 2026 raffles should you treat as closed?
The 2026 Toledo St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway is no longer available because the house and other prizes were awarded Aug. 6, 2026, with Perrysburg resident Shannan Honsberger winning the house.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital reports the award on its 2026 Toledo page, so do not plan an entry. Black Swamp Conservancy held its annual So Wild a Place fundraiser Oct.
3, 2026 at Market Hall at Glass City Metropark, 1521 Front St., with raffles, games, live music, food and a live auction for northwest Ohio conservation. The Conservancy lists that date as past, so treat it as background for next year rather than an open sale.
How do Ohio rules shape these fundraisers?
In Ohio only specified nonprofits, public, chartered and community schools, and qualifying veteran, fraternal and sporting groups may conduct raffles. The Ohio Attorney General explains that 501(c)(3) groups keep 100% of net profit, while 501(c)(4), (c)(7), (c)(8), (c)(10) and (c)(19) groups must distribute at least 50% to charity. For readers, that means look for a named nonprofit sponsor and a stated charitable use.
Habitat's stated 100% proceeds pledge and the children's-hospital benefit tied to the home giveaway fit that pattern.
