Current Saint Paul raffles for 2026

Bridging is selling $25 raffle tickets for its October 2 gala at Saint Paul RiverCentre. Prizes include a $1,500 Delta voucher, a Duluth getaway, and a Red Wing and Amtrak getaway. Entrants must be 18 or older, and winners need not attend the gala, according to Bridging's current gala page.

West Fest on 7th will sell raffle tickets during its September 12–13 festival at 398 West Superior Street. Each ticket supplies eight chances to win, with the drawing held at the festival's end, according to the West Fest event page. The Minnesota Wild Foundation operates a Split the Pot Raffle at Wild events inside Saint Paul's Grand Casino Arena.

Participants can win up to $50,000 per night, while proceeds support community hockey and children's medical causes. The foundation accepts cash and debit cards at events, according to the Minnesota Wild's February 2026 announcement.

Which raffle fits your plans?

The three opportunities differ most in timing, attendance, and prize type. "Up to $50,000" is a maximum, not a promised payout. Likewise, West Fest's eight chances per ticket do not reveal the odds of winning because the total number of entries is not provided.

• West Fest is the earliest fixed-date option, running September 12–13.
• Bridging follows on October 2 and explicitly allows winners to skip the gala.
• The Wild raffle offers the only stated cash ceiling: up to $50,000 per event night.
• Bridging is the only listed organizer whose supplied details state a ticket price: $25.

Minnesota age and payment restrictions

Minnesota prohibits anyone under 18 from purchasing a raffle ticket or winning a raffle prize. A winner must be at least 21 to receive a liquor prize. Tickets cannot legally be sold online or purchased with a credit card, although organizers may advertise raffles online and accept cash, checks, or debit cards, according to the Minnesota Gambling Control Board's raffle guidance.

An event webpage may therefore explain a raffle without serving as a lawful online checkout. Confirm the organizer's payment instructions instead of assuming a web advertisement permits an internet purchase.

What to verify before buying

Before paying, check the details that could affect whether an entry works for you: For West Fest, plan to buy during the September 12–13 festival at 398 West Superior Street. If attending an event is difficult, Bridging is the only listed raffle that explicitly says attendance is unnecessary.

• Recheck the drawing date, venue, and remaining ticket availability.
• Ask for the ticket price when the published information does not provide it.
• Confirm how an absent winner will be contacted and how prizes are delivered.
• Use an allowed payment method and retain the ticket until the drawing is complete.
