Here is how it works: raffle tickets are sold throughout the monthly meeting. At the end of the meeting a ticket is pulled. The winner selects a card from a deck of cards plus one joker. If the joker is not pulled, the card is ripped up and thrown away, lessening the # of cards in the deck. If the joker is pulled the accumulated pot is split between the winner and the chapter. The Chapter s Joker Raffle has grown to a pot of $60000; meaning there could be a winner going home this month with more than $3000.
