The draw takes place every Wednesday at 1:00 PM, including holidays. If your ticket is selected as the winner, we’ll contact you directly by phone. The winner’s name will be displayed on terminal screens at all retail locations (until the next draw), as well as on our website and social media channels (Facebook and Twitter). If the winning ticket goes unpurchased, only the ticket number (not the name) will be shared publicly.
The winning ticket number is selected at random using the automated 50/50 Goldrush software. When the drawn ticket has been purchased, that player wins half of the current jackpot while the other half supports vital hunger relief programs. If the selected ticket wasn’t purchased, no prize is awarded and the entire jackpot amount rolls over to the next week’s draw, giving everyone a chance at an even bigger prize. This system ensures complete fairness while maximizing support for our community.
You are able to purchase tickets for future draws at any of the retail locations and/or online for up to one year (52 weeks). Ticket purchase starts on the date of the purchase. You can also purchase additional tickets on the current draw at any time and continue future draws with just your $2 ticket.
Players must keep their contact details up to date. To update your account or suspend your draw number indefinitely, contact us by phone or email. Otherwise, your number will remain active and eligible for draws indefinitely.
A winning ticket might go unpurchased because every registered player’s number stays in the weekly draw by default—even if they forget to pay their $2 weekly fee. If the system randomly selects an unpaid ticket, no prize is awarded, and the jackpot rolls over. In this case, only the ticket number (not the player’s name) is posted for transparency.
When you purchase multiple tickets for the same draw, you get extra entries while keeping the great value of the standard ticket. For example, buying 3 tickets for $5.00 gives you one guaranteed entry (always in the draw) plus two additional tickets—totaling three chances to win. Go bigger with 10 tickets for $10.00, which includes one guaranteed entry plus nine extra tickets—giving you ten total chances at the jackpot. The more you play, the better your odds—all while supporting our fight against hunger!
