Still time to buy NIC Really BIG Raffle tickets

Fewer than 700 tickets remain for the chance to win this year’s $250,000 grand prize house through the 18th annual North Idaho College Really BIG Raffle.

This year’s home, built by students in the NIC Carpentry program, is located in the Coeur d’Alene Place neighborhood at 6619 Madellaine Drive. It is a four-bedroom, two-bath home loaded with special features. Additional prizes include a $20,000 car, a $10,000 boat, a $3,500 travel package and a $2,000 shopping spree. Winners can apply cash value of these prizes to the purchase of their choice.

The drawing will be held July 13 at the Fort Sherman Park on NIC’s main campus. Winners need not be present to win any of the major prizes.

Only 5,000 tickets are sold at $100 each. Remaining tickets are available at Super 1 Foods, Trading Company Stores, Steins Family Foods, the NIC Workforce Training Center in Post Falls and the NIC Foundation Office, located on NIC’s main Coeur d’Alene campus. Idaho residents can also order online at www.nic.edu/rbr or charge by phone at (208)769-3271.

The 18th annual Really BIG Raffle is sponsored in part by Greenstone Homes and Neighborhoods. Proceeds from the Really BIG Raffle are used to fund scholarships, update classroom technology, support programs and encourage outstanding instruction at North Idaho College.
