How many tickets? What are my odds?

Don't worry it's
not millions of entries.

Our fundraising goal is 15,000 to 18,000 tickets for the Katie. It's open only to active-duty, reserve and honorably discharged U.S. military — and every eligible ticket has the same chance.

How the odds work

The odds of winning depend on the final number of entries received. Each ticket has an equal chance of being selected, subject to the Official Rules.
15,000–18,000
ticket goal
Florida law does not specify a general maximum number of raffle tickets for qualifying charitable drawings. The total number of tickets may vary. See the Official Rules.

Our commitment to fairness

✓  Every entry has an equal chance. No tiers, no weighted tickets. ✓  Maximum of 10 entries per person, so no one can buy their way to a near-certain win. ✓  An independent administrator runs the drawing — we never pick the winner. ✓  Up to five winners: the grand prize plus up to four appreciation gifts.
