They say cash is king, and what better gift could there be for the holiday season than a few extra thousand dollars in your bank account while also supporting a great non-profit organization?

The Evansville Hadi Shrine announced this week they're bringing back their popular half-pot drawing just in time for the holidays. This month's drawing will be the second time this year the group has hosted a half-pot. The previous drawing was held in June and raised an incredible $200,145, meaning the winning ticket holder pocketed $100,072.50.

We've seen a number of non-profit organizations in the Evansville area hold half-pot drawings over the past few years since the West Side Nut Club began incorporating a half-pot drawing into the annual Fall Festival. In each of it's three years, that jackpot has climbed well past the $1 million mark.
