How to play:
The easiest way to play is to purchase a Platinum paddle for $40. Platinum paddles are entered to Win every prize all night, and you do not have to be present to win. You can sit at home on your couch, and we’ll call you to tell you what you’ve won! Now if fun is your thing and you want to be at Quarter Madness in person, you’ll want to purchase a Gold paddle for $30. With a Gold paddle, you must be there to watch your number. When we call your number, you’ve got to hoot and holler so we can get that prize over to your table! You can purchase unlimited Platinum or Gold paddles.
Last but not least, we also have White paddles. White paddles are $5 each and are only available once the doors open on the day of the event. Here’s where the quarters come in. In order for a White paddle to be in the raffle, you must bid the amount of quarters for the item’s value. Items up to $25 are one quarter, $26-$50 are two quarters, $51-75 are three quarters, and $76 on up are 4 quarters per bid. Each person can only purchase two white paddles, and each paddle must have a bid on the item for it to be on the raffle drawing.
