What is Best for Last?
EVENT DETAILS:
Every Third Thursday of November
5:30pm-8:00pm
South Dakota Discovery Center, 805 Sioux Ave., Pierre, SD 57501

Please note that Best for Last is for those aged 21+. Ages 3-12 childcare is available to ticket purchasers, located in the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce Community Room.

THE BASICS:

You buy a reverse-raffle ticket and enter into the reverse raffle for a one in 253 chances to win $10,000! Just want to watch? Get a Friend Pass and join in for delicious food and beverages supplied by local vendors!

WHAT IS A REVERSE RAFFLE? 

Our Best for Last reverse-raffle begins with 250 tickets in the drawing, and the last one drawn wins the grand prize. . . . but it is more exciting than just watching names get drawn. Additional prizes are given every 25 tickets, you get FREE food and beverages and:

When nine tickets remain in the drawing, we draw one Loser’s Boost ticket holder to go back in the drawing (in other words, they get one more chance at $10,000!). 
Once eight tickets remain in the drawing, two bonus tickets are auctioned off to get back into the race! Adrenaline runs high as bids come in!

When only five tickets remain, those still in the drawing get to negotiate! Will they split the $10,000 or will the next ticket be eliminated? ALL remaining ticket holders must agree to split, or the drawing continues.

Negotiation proceeds until the final ticket holders agree to split the grand prize or only one ticket holder remains—the best for last. Ticket holders do not have to be present to win, BUT the final five must be available to negotiate in-person or via phone.

TICKET OPTIONS:
$125, Raffle Ticket
