Local Raffles in Mesa, AZ: Updated 2026 List for Local Winners

There is no verified, consolidated 2026 list naming local Mesa raffle winners. The available evidence documents several Mesa drawings, but completed-event pages do not identify their winners. A raffle is a prize drawing entered through a ticket purchase or qualifying activity.

This guide separates upcoming opportunities from completed drawings. An event listing confirms that a raffle was advertised, not that a named Mesa resident won or that a prize remains available.

Upcoming Mesa raffle opportunities

The Turnbow Foundation plans raffle-ticket sales during its October 9 charity golf tournament at Alta Mesa Golf Club, 1460 N. Alta Mesa Drive. Proceeds support the foundation's community initiatives, according to the [Turnbow Foundation tournament page](https://turnbowfoundation.org/golf-tournament/).

ZCON runs September 21–26 at the Sheraton Mesa, 860 N. Riverview. Its [2026 schedule](https://zcon.org/conventions/2026/schedule/) says raffle tickets will be sold during the convention, with remaining prize winners announced at the September 26 awards banquet.

The free Celebrate Mesa festival on October 10 offers a passport activity for a chance at raffle prizes at Red Mountain Multiuse Fields South. The [City of Mesa event listing](https://www.mesaaz.gov/Activities-Culture/Parks-Recreation-and-Community-Facilities/Events/Celebrate-Mesa) does not identify the prizes. The Sacred Art Gallery also advertises a free drawing for a special piece during its November 7 Fall Art Walk at 1837 W.

Guadalupe Road.

Completed drawings without published winners

Desert Ridge High School's February 21 car show advertised a 50/50 raffle benefiting the Theatre Boosters Scholarship Programs. A 50/50 raffle generally divides the collected pool between the winner and beneficiary, but the event page does not report the winner or payout. The Arizona Elk Society's March 28 fundraising banquet at the Mesa Convention Center included balloon, ladies', banquet, and incentive raffles.

Its ticket page described a rifle-and-optics incentive prize valued above $10,000, but it does not publish winner names.

How to check a winner result

These Mesa examples appear on separate organizer pages rather than in one verified winner database. A page advertising tickets, prizes, or a drawing date is not evidence that results have been released. Before entering, make the result process easy to verify: ZCON provides the clearest future announcement detail: remaining winners are scheduled to be named at its September 26 banquet.

The other cited pages do not provide a comparable public winner list.

• Save the event page, rules, ticket, and payment receipt.
• Check whether the organizer states when and where winners will be announced.
• Ask whether entrants must attend the drawing or respond by a deadline.
• Use contact information published by the organizer when checking a result.
• Treat an event page without a winner announcement as unresolved, not as proof that nobody won.

Check Arizona raffle eligibility before paying

Arizona does not permit every organization to operate a raffle. Under [A.R.S. §13-3302](https://www.azleg.gov/ars/13/03302.htm), a qualifying 501 organization must retain tax-exempt status, operate continuously in Arizona for at least one year, and use bona fide local members to manage, sell, and operate the raffle.

Prospective entrants should confirm the organizer's eligibility and review its rules before purchasing tickets. Useful checks include: Before paying, ask the organizer to explain any missing rule, unclear beneficiary, or unlisted drawing procedure.

• The organization's name and charitable beneficiary
• The ticket price and entry requirements
• The drawing date, location, and winner-selection method
• The prize description and any restrictions
• The notification and prize-claim procedure
