St. Petersburg raffle guide with costs, dates, prize limits and a charity check to use before you buy a ticket.
St. Petersburg readers can find local raffles at Al Lang Stadium, through Detachment 57, and at a Pinellas Park fundraiser near the city. Each is tied to a nonprofit purpose and offers a chance to win, not a promised prize.
A 50/50 drawing sells tickets for one cash prize worth half the amount collected. A basket raffle awards grouped goods instead of cash. Location, ticket caps, dates, and pickup rules decide whether a drawing fits your plans.
