East TN Lions club is holding their 9th annual Reverse Raffle! In a Reverse Raffle, all the tickets are pulled out one-by-one until there are only 3 tickets left. The third to the last ticket wins $500. The second to the last ticket will win $1000. And the LAST remaining ticket, after all the others have been pulled, is the Grand Prize winner of $2000.

Last year’s Second Prize winner, the next to the very last ticket left of all the tickets, belonged to Jeri Lett. Jeri was born in what used to be called Toad Town – the Burkhart community near the Anderson County Line. She is a member of the Union County Cemeteries Association, a volunteer with the Roy Acuff Union Museum & Library and a frequent participant in the Union County FCE. This year, YOU could be one of the winners!
