This event, sponsored by Redding East Rotary, has raised over 5 million dollars Prize Winners were randomly chosen and announced at 2:30 at the Sundial Bridge in conjunction with the Festival at the Sundial Riffle Raffle.
This year’s lucky winners are:
- Derina Lucas, ticket sold by Turtle Bay School will receive the Grand Prize – $10,000 in cash.
There is a lovely story here. She and her husband are ministers and were in our area to perform a wedding. They were offered tickets from a Turtle Bay student outside the market. Derina was looking through her purse to purchase a ticket but didn’t have any cash. Someone came out of the market and hear her. The individual stepped in and bought not one, but two tickets for her, as well as some for himself. Derina has some special plans for the money.
