A Yellowknife resident is up more than $1,000 worth of merchandise after his ticket was picked in the King of the Hill Reverse Raffle Early Bird Draw, part of the Snowking Winter Festival.
Bryan Chorostkowski’s ticket number 1196 was selected on January 11th on Yellowknife’s Houseboat Bay. He walks away with a $1,000 gift certificate from Overlander Sports as well as an Egg Chat Patio Furniture Set compliments of Corothers Home Hardware Building Centre.
According to a news release from the festival, the winning ticket was placed back in the basket for the main draws scheduled to begin in March.
Although just over six weeks remain to purchase tickets for the King of the Hill Reverse Raffle, the release states that tickets are selling at a record pace with less than 60 tickets remaining. Once the 500th ticket is sold, the raffle will be closed. Those with tickets have a chance to share $17,000 in cash prizes!
The King of the Hill Reverse Raffle is unique in that the last names drawn are the ones to win. Each day during Snowkings’ Winter Festival XXX, Snowking himself will draw unlucky names from the list of ticket holders. The first name drawn each day wins their money back. The last name drawn each day goes back in the hat for another chance at cash prizes. Each ticket comes with a daytime pass for the entire festival.

Snowkings’ 30th Winter Festival is scheduled for March 1 – 28.
