The winners have been named in Murray Bridge Lions Club’s Christmas raffle – but the real winner will be the community.

The annual fundraiser netted more than $4000 for the service club, which will spend it on local community projects.

More than 2000 tickets were sold ahead of a draw at Murray Bridge Marketplace on Friday.

The winner of the major prize – a wheelbarrow full of toys, memorabilia and other goodies – was a Kevin Ratsch.

Also drawn out of the barrel, for the second through 12th prizes, were:

  • Robyn Berkfeldt
  • Dee
  • Necia Schapel
  • P Cullen
  • Betty Rule
  • Patricia Willcock
  • Deb Pete
  • David and Jan Trevorrow
  • J Smith
  • Betty Joy

Winners of Jed’s pizzas in an extra draw were Bob Taylor, Darren Moss, Bev Lewis, Dolly Perkins, P Crockart, Jack Cannon, P&B Reid, P Crockart again, AC Care and John Brodie.

Ms Rule, Tania Blake and Gloria Miller earned the last prizes, from Stratco.

Ms Willcock was present for the prize draw, and threw her arm up in the air when here name was pulled out, earning her a Coles voucher.

Her diligence paid off, then.

She must have walked past the Lions stall and bought three tickets every day, she said.

She credited the win to her beloved Adelaide Crows – the winning ticket number ended in 98, the year of their last premiership.
