All of our tickets have a unique serial number and two raffle ticket numbers that are generated by our online system that assigns a randomized pair of raffle numbers for each serial number. This ensures no raffle numbers are duplicated and that each ticket is unique and identifiable in our database.

We will have tickets available for sale at multiple businesses throughout the region starting April 27.

There are three ways that you can get free raffle tickets!

1. When you purchase nine tickets, you get a tenth free! The tenth ticket will automatically be sent to you if you purchase your tickets in one transaction. If you spread out your purchases during the raffle season, please email tickets@friendlycityfortune.com for your bonus ticket.

2. You can win additional tickets by purchasing your ticket early! All tickets purchased by midnight the day before the Early Bird drawings will automatically be entered to win $1,000 cash and five free raffle tickets. Click "How do Early Bird Drawings work?" to learn more.

3. Our media partners also give away tickets on air, so you can listen to local radio stations with iHeart Media and ‍Harrisonburg Media Group throughout the summer. We will also be giving away tickets through WHSV and the Daily News-Record. More details coming soon.

If you win a prize that you do not want, you can request a check for half the cash value of the prize. For example, if you won a car valued at $10,000 but would prefer the cash payout, you will get half of the MRSP ($5,000).

In the event that a prize is no longer available at the time prizes are awarded, a substitution of a like prize of equal or lesser value will be made. The determination of the value of a substituted prize may be based on the negotiated price between the vendor and HDR, not based on the retail value, and that price will be shared with the winner.

Prizes are purchased from vendors with existing agreements with HDR; therefore, out-of-stock items may not be purchased from other vendors. Winners who select a prize of greater value than the advertised prize, will be responsible for paying the difference in price.

We use four electronic bingo ball machines to draw four balls numbered from zero to nine. Numbers are drawn at random and checked against the ticket database to verify that ticket number was sold. All numbers drawn will be recorded, including unsold numbers. If unsold numbers are drawn, new numbers will be drawn. Winning ticket numbers will be announced during the live drawing, and posted on HDR’s social media, and www.friendlycityfortune.com.

Our drawings are always livestreamed online and a link to the video will be posted on www.friendlycityfortune.com. Ticket holders may also attend the live main drawing in July, barring any public health considerations that make gathering hazardous. HDR employees will call and/or email the winners directly to arrange to claim the prize during the week following the drawing. You can see previous livestreams on our YouTube and Facebook playlists.

Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance is authorized to conduct the Friendly City Fortune mega raffle by the Office of Charitable and Regulatory Programs under the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. We apply for and receive a charitable gaming permit each year to conduct this raffle.

Each $100 raffle ticket gives you TWO numbers to win cars, trips, cash, and more on Saturday, July 25!

Plus, all proceeds benefit Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance’s mission to build downtown Harrisonburg as a destination where independent businesses thrive and people enjoy memorable experiences. It’s a win-win!
