Time is running out to qualify for early bird prizes in the North Idaho College Foundation’s 33rd annual Really BIG Raffle drawing.

All participants qualify for a chance to win a brand new Post Falls home valued at over $550,000, a 2026 new vehicle ($32,000 value), a home furnishings gift card ($2,000 value) and a Schweitzer gift certificate ($1,500 value), and those who purchase tickets by April 30 are also automatically entered for a chance to win the Early Bird prizes — two $1,000 Costco gift cards!

Great odds, great cause — tickets are $150 and only 5,000 will be sold for this fundraiser that supports student success and educational excellence throughout North Idaho College. Act fast — half of the tickets have already been sold, and they sell out every year!

This year’s grand prize is a 2,033-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath home currently under construction at 3360 N. Segar Loop, in Greenstone’s desirable North Place community in Post Falls. 

The home will be loaded with upgrades and special features such as a beautiful front porch and large covered back patio, stunning quartz countertops, impressive vaulted ceilings, a large chef’s kitchen with island and a cozy fireplace with built-ins.

Idaho residents can reserve tickets online at nic.edu/rbr or by phone at 208-769-3271. Out-of-state residents can purchase tickets with cash or check at multiple North Idaho outlets including all Super 1 Foods in Kootenai County and Sandpoint, Yoke’s Fresh Market in Post Falls and Watson’s Market in Osburn. 

Tickets can also be purchased via cash, check or credit card at the NIC Workforce Training Center in Post Falls or the NIC Foundation office in Coeur d’Alene.

This fundraiser is sponsored in part by Title Sponsor Greenstone Homes.
