Ticket buyers share their Raffle stories
Ever wonder why people participate in St. Joseph's Health & Wealth Raffle? Some people simply want to win a prize. Others hope to help those in need of healthcare. And, many say they support the Health & Wealth Raffle because of the doctors, nurses, and other employees at St. Joseph’s and Barrow—a staff that provides superlative care. The emails below are just a few that have been received recently through the Raffle website,

“We do it as a thank you for our healthy 1lb 8oz little girl the NICU gave us who is 7 now! It is a win-win for us.” ~Joseph K.
“I'd be lying if I said I didn't do it for cool prizes... I've been trying to win a house for awhile now. However, I choose this over making a deposit in Vegas. After all, when was the last time Vegas saved someone’s life?” ~Michael D.
"My family and I always buy a ticket and are happy to even if we don't win. My mother was treated at Barrow Neurological Institute when a brain tumor was discovered last year. The doctors and nurses are excellent! We have always supported the raffle never knowing that our family would be in need of the medical services one day. We are glad that such a medical center exists and we will continue to support the Health & Wealth Raffle."

"I won the one-night getaway in Tucson for two and I know it wasn't one of the big prizes, but none-the-less I was ecstatic....I HAVE NEVER WON ANYTHING IN MY LIFE! Rest assured I will be purchasing a 3 pack in the fall raffle and I have told ALL of my family members to purchase tickets in the next raffle. We are all winners even if we don't win a prize because of all the good the money does for the hospital. THIS IS SOOOO AWESOME!"
~Tammy L.
"Thank you for the Digital Camcorder. Far more important, thank you to all who support St. Joseph's and help to keep them going in their very important work for God and the families. I didn't know about this raffle until a co-worker told me. I love St. Joseph's and will continue to participate in all of your raffles. God Bless you all."
~Theresa S.
"On Sunday April 13th, I was having dinner with my family. I was telling them that I heard that a young 22 year old kid had won the grand prize. Then I looked at my wife, shook my head and said I can’t even win a CD player. The very next day I received an E-mail from Health and Wealth Raffle. It said I won a Sony am-fm CD player! Amazing! I should have said a car! HA HA---thank you Health and Wealth Raffle!"
~ Brian D. T.
"Thank you so much for my new car. I am happy that the proceeds can help so many. Thank you again! I am a very lucky man!!"
~Guy Blain C.
"In April 2006 my husband was in a motorcycle accident. He was brought to the trauma unit at St. Joe’s. The nurses and staff took wonderful care of my husband and treated me with kindness and concern! My husband made a full recovery and we are extremely grateful to the entire crew at St. Joe’s. Thank you!"
~Amy W.
"I participate in this event because of a good friend. (She) left this world 2 years ago, but has left an impact on everyone who knew her. She fought the good fight and with the help of St. Joseph's Hospital, lived and enriched many people’s lives. She lost her battle for life, but passed on the zest for living. So, may God bless (her) and St. Joseph's Hospital."
~JoAnn F.
