Best raffle you ever won

Biggest and only thing I’ve won by a random draw/raffle is a jar of skunk essence for trapping. There’s always next time though. 🤞
 
Im really loving this.
Glad somebody else caught that. It made me laugh

Couple years ago at a fundraiser golf outing I hit the 50/50 for $700. The next week I was at a peewee football game and hit the 50/50 for $70. Couple months after that at our work Xmas party the top prize was $600. First name drawn got it. My name got pulled. That was my heater, and the start and end of my winning.
 
In the late 90's my dad won a Browning Gold Hunter shotgun in a DU raffle. He didnt hunt so he gave it to me, it was a big upgrade from his Ithaca 37 with fixed modified choke and no rib I was using. At the time my parents could have used the money from him selling it but glad he didnt. Still have it, 3 1/2 with 24 in barrel, it has shot at alot of pheasants.
 
I believe it was 2015 that I won a signed Clint Dempsey Team USA jersey through soccer.com on a single entry. I’ve only been in hunting/fishing related raffles since then, hoping the drought ends soon on a good hunt.

I’ll start with saying I’ve been fairly lucky over the years. First big one was the Washington California bighorn sheep raffle back in 97. (3 tickets) Second big one was the Oregon bighorn sheep raffle in 98. (6 tickets). Those two set the stage for me buying tickets for every Sheep raffle I could find for the next 25 years. I hit another good one with a Dall sheep hunt in Alaska through the Washington FNAWS raffle. My wife bought me $200 worth for my birthday. Got lucky again in the Washington Shiris Moose raffle 10 years ago. Ended up killing a great 182 inch bull. Last but not least, I won the Montana WSF desert Sheep raffle with one ticket last year. Had a great hunt in Mexico killing a 166 Mexicana ram.
Good for you, those are some amazing hunts! Now I’m curious, what do you think you’ve spent on raffle tickets over the last 30 years?
 
The big one for me was the CO state wide bighorn tag this year. Have won a few guns, artwork, bags, kennels, etc from RMEF/pheasants forever/DU events over the years. I don’t want to know what I’ve spent on raffle tickets, but it’s way less than what a Bighorn tag would have cost me so I’m in the green!

I won a $15,000 weapons and optics package from Epic Outdoors 2 years ago. 2 months later I won a Sonora, MX mule deer hunt. Those are probably my 2 biggest wins.
 
About 5 or 6 years ago I won a Beretta 687 EELL Classic O/U 20ga. shotgun at the annual Alaska Wild Sheep Foundation Banquet. I think it retails for around $10K. This thing is an absolute work of art.
