In a noon drawing at the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center today, officials announced that 1,806 tickets were included in the 2019 Easterseals Home Run Sweeps ALL CA$H Raffle drawing. Tickets were $100 each and a maximum of 3,000 were available.
The official ticket sales period began January 2 and ended just before today’s drawing. The drawing had been postponed from the original date of March 14 due to low ticket sales.
Easter Seals has been doing its Home Run Sweepstakes for 28 years now. Today, appropriately the opening say of Major League Baseball, the names of the winners were drawn.
They are:
Mary Heim of Evansville won the grand prize of $50,000 at today’s drawing.
Mike Seibert of Jasper, Indiana won the $25,000 second prize.
Kaitlyn Jochim of Haubstadt, Indiana won the $10,000 third prize.
The organization sold more tickets this year than they did last. All the proceeds, this year equallying about $93,000 — will be used to fund rehabiliation services for children and adults with disabilities.
WIKY afternoon personality Aaron Santini hosted the proceedings.
