"This year, my dad was living with my sister and her family up in Thornton, but had gotten pneumonia back in February and just wasn’t getting well. After many trips to the doctor and ER, we had a heart to heart with his primary care physician and decided on palliative care some time in April — he just couldn’t get his energy back.
"When I told him [about the win], he kept saying, "I just can’t believe it! I just can’t believe it!” There would be a long pause and he’s say it again. He would have totally thought I was reckless and ridiculous for spending so much money on tickets, but both my sister and I really believe in your mission to empower young people to achieve their greatest potential - it’s such a great cause.
"The next few days were brutally difficult for us, as he struggled more and more to breathe, but he was still lucid enough to hear and respond to me on the day before he died when I figured out and told him what I wanted to do with my winnings (I split it with my sister): establish a scholarship legacy fund with the money (plus some of what I’ve saved). I know it brought him so much joy to hear about a lasting legacy for the family name. I am choking up thinking about it as I write about it now."
"It's been several years since I first became aware of Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. I did not know how widespread these Clubs were across the country.
"I thought it was a great idea to have such an organization to meet some of the needs of younger kids, especially in inner-city environments.
"Why not support organizations with which one feels fulfill a worthy cause?
"I started what I'd considered an annual donation to the program. The odds of winning I thought would be pretty slim and so, it was a donation to a worthy cause, that I have continued over several years now.
"It was on the 10th of November this year, 2023, that I received the call that I had won one of the raffle prizes, the 50/50 Jackpot. Needless to say, it was certainly an unexpected surprise. I didn't even know when the drawings were going to take place.
"The 10th of November was also the Marine Corps Birthday and I am a Marine. What a birthday present this was!
"Thank you Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver."
"Every year, I try and enter the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver raffle for the chance to win one of their wonderful prizes. I have done this for many years, knowing that regardless if I win or not, my contribution is going to a great charity that has an impact for local boys and girls in the Denver metro area.
"My husband knew that I liked to do this so he always tried to nab the flyers before I received them, since the chances of winning is never in your favor. However, in this year's case, my entering paid off with a win! It was funny and exciting disclosing to my husband, 'Umm I just got a text from Boys & Girls Club, I entered a raffle and I think I won something.'
"It wasn't until we had our formal call that we were notified that I had won the grand prize. It was definitely a very pleasant shock, one that you never expect to hear and one that we will never forget, that proves you can win!!! And in my case not only did I win, but I also know that I got to contribute to a great charity to support our local region."
