How Does This Help Teams?<\/h4>

How Much Are Tickets? <\/h4>

Tickets are sold at $10.00 a ticket. We accept cash or checks payable to \"JEDC\" or \"Juneau Economic Development Council\" with \"2026 FIRST Raffle\" in the memo line. After the conclusion of the raffle, participating teams will receive a payment equal to half the cost of tickets ($5.00) multiplied by the quantity of tickets sold, or half of their original total sales.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
