How We Draw

All 600 tickets have been individually placed in 600 plastic vials. When we start the drawing, the tickets in their vial are loaded into a tumbler drum and thoroughly mixed up. We then start to pull the vials. The first 10 pulled are placed unopened in a holder in the order selected. These are the top prize winners and will be the last vials opened. The first picked is the $10,000 Grand Prize winner. It will be the last vial opened.

Next we start pulling the remaining 590 tickets. From these 590 tickets, there are 50 $100 winners. The first and last pulled are winners. The others are spaced out approximately every 12 tickets drawn.

We track all the ticket numbers as drawn. The winning numbers will be posted on this website on Saturday following the drawing. We post numbers only - no names. During the drawing we will announce the number and first name only - no last names.

New for 2021

We are introducing an electronic board that will allow you to easily see if your ticket has been drawn or if you are still in the game. The board will be visible in a window during the entire drawing, and we will display it full-screen following every $100 winner drawn.

To start, the board will look like this. All ticket numbers, from 1 to 600 are displayed:

After we start drawing, ticket numbers drawn will be blacked out. $100 winners will be highlighted in green. The last number drawn is displayed at the top left of the board. A list of the last 6 drawn is displayed at the lower left. Also shown is the number of tickets drawn, and the number remaining. If you can see your ticket number in blue, you are still live. If your ticket number is green, you won $100.

We hope you enjoy the drawing. Good Luck!!

And remember, there are no losers. All the proceeds go to help our community.

Spring Blood Drive Results

Thanks to all who contributed at our spring blood drive.

We collected 59 units of blood from donors across our community! That's enough blood to help save 170 lives.

Thank you to all who donated during this critical period when our blood

supplies are in jeopardy and patients' treatments are at risk.

We would also like to thank the Knowlton's Lions Club for providing the Lion's Den for this important

community event.

See you in the fall. An hour of your time can save a life. Give Blood.

Rotary Is Changing

We are making it easier to fit Rotary into today's busy schedule and are focusing more on special projects, so you can be involved as your time allows.

The main requirement to join Rotary is the desire to get involved and make a difference in our community. We know that today’s work and family schedule take its toll on volunteer time, so we are working hard to make Rotary accessible to all who want to join and contribute.

Why Rotary?

Our club has a 73-year history in our community, and we are very sound financially. While we work locally, we are a proud part of Rotary International, a network of more than 1.2 million members.

We have access to the resources of this worldwide organization, which makes it possible for us to accomplish things beyond our local means.

Our Meetings

If you can spare an hour a month, you have the time to attend our monthly business meeting. Many of our members also enjoy attending our weekly dinner meetings, but these are not a requirement for membership. Due to Covid, we are holding many meetings on line via Zoom. They are easy to join from the comfort of your home or office. If you are interested, send an email to info@blairstownrotary.org and request an invite.

Our Projects

We hold and participate in many projects throughout the year. What we can accomplish is only limited by the time, enthusiasm and skills of our members.

We are confident that we can find projects that match your time, skills and abilities. Or maybe you have some ideas of your own, but you need people and resources to help carry them out. That’s what Rotary is all about.

Be Our Guest

We are looking for new members who can help us continue to serve the community for the next 70 years. Speak to us today about how YOU can join and be part of a truly great organization. Be our guest and join any of our Business or Dinner meetings to find out more. Or click here for more information and a New Member Application.
