FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2014 IDITAROD WINTER RAFFLE WINNERS

Wasilla, Alaska - Sunday, April 6, 2014 – The 2014 Iditarod Winter Raffle drawing was conducted at 5:00 p.m. today at Iditarod Headquarters in Wasilla. Twenty raffle ticket holders shared in more than $195,200 in prizes, which included four (4) 2014 Dodge Ram 4x4 Quad Cab pickup trucks.

The Iditarod Trail Committee (ITC) conducts two raffles annually, the financial success of each playing a significant role in ITC’s ability to stage the race each year. As a part of the ITC’s longstanding commitment to ensuring the highest level of public confidence in its raffles, the CPA firm of Newhouse & Vogler, of Anchorage, Alaska, again conducted a pre-drawing audit to ensure that all 4,000 tickets sold were accounted for and were in the drum at the time of the drawing. A representative of the firm also drew the winning tickets.
