For 21 years The Arc has conducted the largest raffle in the State-line area: The Arc’s Great Home Giveaway. Over the past 2 decades, The Great Home Giveaway has awarded homes, cash and other prizes valued at over half a million dollars to ticket purchasers. The Great Home Giveaway is all grown up now and ready to make new dreams come true via The Great Dream Machine. The Great Dream Machine is a
fun way to win cash and other valuable prizes just by making a donation to benefit children and adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities. What a nice way to start the New Year. Use the Great Dream Machine to pay off those Christmas bills, vacation somewhere warm, fix up the house, pay down the mortgage or the student loan, help out the kids or the parents, or just blow it having the time of your life. Why not try it? Perhaps the lasting satisfaction is knowing you will be making life better by making a donation to an organization that helps some vulnerable people; those with life-long intellectual disabilities. Everyone who enters before December 29 2013 has a chance to win $5,000 and a chance to wine $100,000 and other neat stuff
Here’s how it works:
For every donation made to The Arc, the donor receives one or more entries. The number of entries increases with the donation amount. A $5 donation gives the donor 1 entry
A $20 donation gives the donor 5 entries
A $50 donation gives the donor 15 entries
A $100 donation gives the donor 35 entries
A $250 donation gives the donor 175 entries
A $500 donation gives the donor 400 entries
In addition to the grand prize each donor will have a chance at winning overnight stay packages courtesy of the Clock Tower Resort and Conference Center and other prizes courtesy of Cumulus Media’s Q98.5, Rockford’s Country Radio Station. Have a Great Time Dreaming about hearing your name called

“There are no losers in this. I mean, look who you’re helping. We donated Seventy-five dollars which might seem like a lot of money, but look at the consequences, you could win a home or cash or help somebody receive services that they’re in desperate need of,” commented Chris Clark, Barb’s husband, 2013 Great Home Giveaway winners of the $100,000 grand prize.
