Compare three no-purchase sweepstakes open to Aurora adults, including entry methods, prizes, and approaching deadlines.
Verified current evidence does not support a list of Aurora, Colorado, "local raffles" with no purchase necessary. The closest documented options are sweepstakes—chance-based promotions rather than Colorado-licensed charitable raffles. Three current alternatives accept eligible Aurora adults.
Two close August 31, 2026, while the third remains open through September 30.
Verification note: Program terms and availability can change. This page was checked against linked sources on August 26, 2026.
Why these offers are not local raffles
Colorado limits raffles to qualifying nonprofits that have operated in the state for at least five years. Every Colorado raffle also requires a Secretary of State license, according to the Colorado Secretary of State's licensing guidance. That distinction matters because "raffle" is sometimes used casually for any prize drawing.
A promotion's actual rules determine whether it is a licensed charitable raffle or a sweepstakes. The documented opportunities below are sweepstakes available to Aurora residents. They should not be treated as Aurora-based charitable raffles.
Three currently documented choices
Goodheart Animal Health Centers' Denver Summit Wellness Sweepstakes is open to Colorado residents age 18 or older through August 31, 2026. The prize combines a $1,000 pet-wellness package with signed team items. Entrants must follow both specified Instagram accounts and submit the linked form, with one entry allowed per person.
See the Goodheart official rules. Denver-based Active Impact's Sweepstakes #6 offers either a Japan trip or $7,500 cash. Aurora residents age 18 or older may use its no-purchase mail-in method: send a separate, handwritten 3-by-5 card containing the required contact information and a 25-word statement.
The postage-paid entry must be postmarked by August 31 and received by September 7, 2026, as detailed in the Active Impact official rules. Denver-based Ibotta's Back to Savings Giveaway is open to eligible adults in the United States, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico through September 30, 2026. Aurora residents enter without a purchase by adding the giveaway offer in the Ibotta app.
One winner receives $25,000; the Ibotta help page provides the current entry instructions.
Which entry method fits you?
Start with the method you can complete exactly. Each promotion uses a different platform and has different practical limits. "No purchase necessary" does not always mean completely cost-free.
Active Impact's alternative entry requires postage, while Goodheart requires Instagram actions and Ibotta uses an in-app offer. Every listed benefit remains a chance to win, not a guaranteed reward.
- Choose Goodheart if the pet-wellness prize is useful and you can complete both Instagram follows and the form.
- Choose Active Impact if you can prepare the handwritten card and meet both mailing deadlines.
- Choose Ibotta if you use the app and prefer a later September deadline.
How to enter safely and on time
Begin from the sponsor's rules or help page, then follow its linked entry path. Avoid relying on reposted instructions because omitted wording, fields, hashtags, or deadlines can invalidate an entry. Deadline order matters on August 26.
Complete Goodheart's online steps promptly, add Ibotta's offer by September 30, and mail Active Impact's correctly prepared card early enough to be postmarked by August 31 and received by September 7.
- Confirm the sponsor name, closing date, age rule, and location requirement.
- Enter only through the method described in the current rules.
- Check spelling in your email address, mailing address, and other contact fields.
- Respect stated entry limits rather than sending duplicates.
- Keep a copy or screenshot of the completed instructions and submission.
