The Joliet (Ill.) Area Historical Museum is holding its fundraiser by selling $35 tickets (or three for $100) for a chance to win a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 convertible.
The winner can choose the Mustang or a $25,000 cash prize. If fewer than 2,000 tickets are sold, the winner gets 50 percent of the proceeds. There will be five second-place prizes of $1,000 each.
Tickets can be purchased at the museum’s gift shop. The drawing will be during the museum’s seventh annual ball on Oct. 4. Winners need not be present to collect the prizes.
The car, courtesy of Rub Ford of Gardner, Ill., will be on display at the museum at 204 N. Ottawa St. in Joliet. More here.
