The Rotary Club of Central Tortola has revived its signature annual car raffle after sitting out last year, with a brand-new BAIC BJ40 PLUS SUV as the main prize.
At $10 per ticket, the raffle is open to the public through multiple sales points: NAGICO offices in Tortola and Virgin Gorda, Tortola Auto Group, Carquest in Slaney, Mi Amor, House of Luxury at Pier Park, Original NY Pizza in Fish Bay, Captain Mulligan's, and directly from club members.
Club President Nelcia St. Jean framed the raffle as more than a chance to win. "Every ticket purchased represents an investment in the community," she said. The proceeds will fund the club's charitable work and community service programmes, she added, reflecting the Rotary principle of "Service Above Self".
Four early bird drawings will take place before the final draw. On October 23, November 13 and 27, and December 11, 2026, the club will award $1,000 in cash to four winners. Crucially, winning tickets from these early draws stay in the pool for the vehicle prize on December 19, meaning early bird winners retain a shot at the SUV.
"Even if your ticket wins one of those $1,000 prizes, it will remain in the draw for the vehicle, which is on 19 December. So you could win cash and still have a chance to drive away in the SUV," St. Jean said.
