[Ohio-Talk] Piggest Raffle

[Todd Elzey]

Yes, Mr. President, the organization would benefit by selling the grand
prize or second prize tickets. I just double-checked the rules, and the way
the grand and second place prizes actually work is that the $10,000, and
$5,000 prizes are split between the ticket holder and the organization
selling the winning ticket. So if the NFB of Ohio sells the grand prize,
the winning ticket holder would get $5,000 and the NFB of Ohio would get
$5,000. If we sold the second prize ticket, the winning ticket holder would
get $2,500 and the NFB of Ohio would get $2,500.  Wouldn't it be great if
we sold both!  Let's get those tickets purchased by April 30, 2022. Again
the website to purchase tickets is:   https://piggestraffleever.com/
