Tickets for the sweepstakes are $5.00 each. The Grand Prize in the sweepstakes is the choice of a Roman Holiday Vacation for Four, a 2023 Toyota Corolla Sedan or a $20,000 Prepaid VISA Credit Card. Each participating school is also guaranteed to have a winner of a $1,000 Pre-Paid VISA Credit Card. It is possible to win both the $1,000 VISA Card and the Grand Prize.
Since its beginning in 2007, Catholic Schools have raised nearly $13 million, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the schools.
