Four lucky ticket holders won prizes in the 2023 Ada Lions Club raffle drawing on October 11. All 4,500 tickets were sold with the lure of the big first place prize: two tickets to the October 21 Ohio State vs. Penn State football game and an overnight stay at a Columbus area Choice hotel.
Purchasers were also tempted by the second prize: an OSU bench crafted by Allen County Fabrication, third prize of $100 cash and fourth prize of $50.00 cash.
Lion Jill Simmons did the honors of drawing the winning tickets with these results:
1st place) Lion Mike Lenhart
2nd place) Brett Rogers
3rd place) Jerry Hawk
4th place) Matt Hughes
Raffle co-chairman Ted Prueter thanked everyone who sold tickets and announced that the proceeds would be divided equally between the Lions scholarship and the Charles “Bud” Hawkins Memorial Scholarship; each will receive approximately $1800.
