There are two types of raffles with different tickets for each, and one door prize drawing.

  • Peace Makers will be back raffling off guns in a 52-card deck format.

    The format is simple:

    • Gun tables are lined with 50+ guns to pick from

    • Purchase one (or multiple) cards from the 52-card deck, at $20 each.

    • Once all 52 cards are sold, one will be drawn.

    • If the drawn card matches the one you purchased, you win. Pick a gun from the table and proceed to registration.

    • The process repeats starting with a new deck of cards.

    This is a cash-only raffle. No ATM is available onsite.

    Fine print:

    Background checks are conducted by a licensed professional in accordance with Michigan law. In order to receive your prize (gun), the registration process must be completed and the winner must be of legal age. Note that new ATF laws require a 10-day cooling period background check for anyone between ages 18-20 years old. If you are within this age range, your background check will be delayed, and any gun won will be held by the FFL vendor until completion.

    In the event that all 52-cards are unable to be sold and the event is concluding, a card will be drawn in a 50-50 winnings format.

  • Two different raffle ticket price points will be sold:

    • $1 bucket raffle ticket

    • $10 bucket raffle ticket

    Buckets will be placed around the room and will indicate which prize they are for, such as tents, kayaks, hunting stands, drones, etc. Each bucket will state the ticket color/value required to enter. In past events, we have averaged 10 different $10/ticket buckets, and 35 different $1/ticket buckets.

    From 7:45 – 8:45pm, tickets will be drawn from each bucket. If your ticket is drawn, you win the prize associated with the bucket.

    Must be present to win

    Examples from 2022’s Raffles:

    $10/ticket bucket items: Kayak, pellet grill, crossbow, mountain bike, DJI drone, Blackstone flat burner, Eskimo QuickFish, BowFlex Home Gym, Stihl Chainsaw, and more.

    $1/ticket bucket items: Air fryer, father and son fishing set, Haven Gazebo, Airtact pellet gun, tool cart, Mirage trail cameras, gift cards to Great Lakes Meats, leaf blower, rounds of golf, fully guided fishing trip, Bug-A-Salt gun, and more.

Door prize raffle fine print:

Picture shown may differ in color and accessories from the actual prize.

Entry is included with your event ticket. Fill out a connection card (provided at the event) and attach it to your event ticket stub to enter. Must be 18 years of age or older to win. If won by a minor, the prize can be claimed and registered by a legal guardian. Must legally pass a background check and gun registration process to claim the prize. New ATF regulations mandate a 10-day cooling period for gun registration background checks to those between the age of 18-20 years old. The prize will not be issued until the background check completes and is cleared. The gun will be held by the banquet’s federal firearm licensed dealer, Peace Makers, until completion.
