83 prizes are awarded, including the Grand Prize, vehicles, vacations, gift cards, and cash.
There are two Bonus Drawings: the Appreciation Drawing, and the Early Bird Drawing. These are meant to encourage people to purchase tickets sooner rather than later. Purchase before the applicable deadlines and have your tickets entered not only into the Grand Prize Drawing, but also into the Appreciation Drawing and Early Bird Drawing. All tickets entered into the early drawings are re-entered into subsequent drawings and the Grand Prize drawing.
