SLANEY POINT, Tortola, VI- A $10 ticket could turn into a $1,000 win this Friday, as the Rotary Club of Central Tortola hosts the second early bird draw in its Grand Car Raffle.

The draw takes place on Friday, November 13, 2026, at Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park. The Club is encouraging residents to purchase their tickets ahead of the draw while supporting its community service initiatives.

The first early bird draw, held on October 23, saw Mr Dale Wheatly of Virgin Gorda win $1,000. With another cash prize on offer, the Club is urging the public to get involved before the next winner is selected.

“Congratulations to Mr Dale Wheatly, our first early bird winner, and thank you to everyone who has supported the raffle so far. Every ticket purchased helps our Club serve the community and make a meaningful difference. We encourage everyone to get their tickets ahead of Friday’s draw—you could win $1,000 and still have a chance to drive away with the grand prize,” said Club President Nelcia St Jean.
