Which cash raffles named Toledo winners?
WGTE Public Media held its 87th Charity Cash Raffle with 16 early-bird drawings on June 19, 2026. The $75,000 grand-prize drawing followed on June 26, 2026, listing Sam Rodriguez of Temperance, MI as winner. WGTE Public Media reports these results in its 2026 raffle results.
WGTE Public Media's Raffle No. 86 winners list names Melvin Conyer of Huron, OH as the $75,000 winner on April 3, 2026. Toledo winners on that list include Valeria Canas at $1,000 and Joseph Tibbals at $500.
That list shows how one raffle can pay several local amounts at once.
What did the bourbon charity raffle cost and limit?
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio sold $100 tickets from April 1 to June 11, 2026. Sales were capped at 1,000 tickets for a chance to win one bottle of Weller Millennium bourbon. Buyers had to be age 21-plus.
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio states the cap, dates, and age limit in its raffle rules. Centennial Terrace hosted Cork and Pork on June 11, 2026, from 6 to 10 p.m. Admission was $50, with proceeds benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Ohio.
Centennial Terrace says the bourbon raffle drawing took place during food tastings and live music.
How did youth and golf raffles work?
The Toledo Walleye Reading Program, presented by Ohio 529 CollegeAdvantage, rewarded northwest Ohio readers in grades K-8. One student was randomly selected for a $2,500 college-savings award presented at the March 29 game. The Toledo Walleye describes the grades, random selection, and award in its reading program page.
The Maumee Chamber's 2026 Golf Outing sold Drone Drop raffle tickets at 3 for $50 or 7 for $100. Each ticket was a chance to win, not a food or golf item. Non-winning entries rolled into a separate Restaurant Raffle drawing.
The Maumee Chamber of Commerce lists the ticket bundles and rollover in its golf outing page.
What should you check before you buy?
Ohio charitable bingo and gaming fall under the Ohio Attorney General. The office requires registration, forms, and compliance for nonprofits. That means Toledo entrants must verify eligibility, taxes, and rules before buying.
Use this quick check before paying for any local raffle ticket. It keeps purchase, age, and claim limits beside the prize.
- Check dates, age, and location limits in the sponsor's rules.
