  • Medinah Golf Outing
  • Family Canoe Outing on Lake Ellyn with gourmet picnic
  • Tailgate Party
  • 100 Lottery Scratchers
  • Tickets to Broadway in Chicago with 4-Star Dining

  • Hot-air Balloon Ride for Two
  • Mom' Home Cooking - Delicious Homemade Meal Delivered to Your Home - For One Year!
  • Endless Car Wash - All You Can Wash for 12 Months
  • Two Tickets on Southwest Airlines

Congratulations to all the lucky winners.
