• If your number matches the sealed envelope and lands in the hole—you take home $50,000! 💸

• If it lands in the hole but isn’t the exact number, you’ll still win $1,000 (split among winners if needed).

• Plus, $500 goes to the ball closest to the pin (also shared in case of ties).

🎟 Ball Drop Ticket Prices:

• 1 Ball = $20

• 3 Balls = $50
