One of the most popular raffles in Virginia is underway – the Annual DU Calendar Raffle. It works this way. First, buy a raffle ticket for $50 – which goes directly to Ducks Unlimited and waterfowl conservation – a great investment by itself. But here’s what else you get for fifty bucks. Each day in December, DU will select a name from the raffle bucket and only 1,000 tickets will be sold. Your odds are 20 to 1, and when the tickets are all sold, they’re gone. No more. The list of guns to be given away includes a Beretta DU Special 9 mm pistol, 410 over-and-under shotguns, a 22 lever action rifle, high powered DU rifles, revolvers, automatic pistols, limited edition shotguns and much more.
A description of each daily prize is printed below the picture on the calendar. Buyers must be 18 years or older to purchase a calendar/ticket and must be of legal age to claim any firearm in accordance with any federal and state regulations. All firearm regulations must be met before you can receive a firearm. Any winner failing to pass any relevant state or federal background check will forfeit their prize to Virginia Ducks Unlimited.
Daily winners will be contacted directly based on the contact information provided with the calendar purchase and will also be announced on the Virginia Ducks Unlimited Facebook Page and at www.vaducks.org.
All prizes can be claimed at Green Top Sporting Goods, 10150 Lakeridge Parkway, Ashland, VA, 23005. Ducks Unlimited, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charity and your contribution may be deductible for income tax purposes.
