Red Cross Raffle

Each year we raffle off a full size pinball machine. This year we’re purchasing a brand new 2011 Stern Transformers Pro pinball machine for use in our tournament line-up. At the conclusion of the tournaments, it will become the grand prize for the 2012 TPF Raffle benefitting the American Red Cross.

Raffle tickets are available for purchase during pre-registration and through-out the weekend. Be sure you buy your tickets early as they are also used to award door prizes throughout the weekend. Winning tickets will be returned to the turnstyle before the grand prize is drawn. Every purchased ticket has a chance to be the winner!

Door Prizes

Our vendors and sponsors supply us with a host of pinball related items to give away to you! These prizes include t-shirts and translites and gift certificates and lots of other stuff! We start giving them away right after the doors open.

How do you get in on this? You buy raffle tickets.

Door prize winners are announced over the loud speaker. And thanks to a great suggestion by a guest, this year, we will also post the winner’s name on the walls to ensure that no one gets left out.
