The Lombard Historical Society’s 2026 50/50 Split the Pot Raffle is underway, giving one lucky winner the chance to take home half of the total raffle pot.

Last year’s winner received more than $3,000, and this year’s prize will continue to grow as additional tickets are sold.

Tickets are available through Saturday, Sept. 5, and cost:

• One ticket for $5
• Five tickets for $20

Tickets may be purchased online, at Lombard Historical Society events or from members of the organization’s Board of Management.  PURCHASE TICKETS HERE

The winning ticket will be drawn at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5, during the Food Truck Social at 23 W. Maple St. in Lombard. The winner will receive half of the raffle proceeds, while the remaining funds will support the Historical Society’s work to preserve and share Lombard’s history.

Participants do not need to be present to win. The drawing will be livestreamed on Facebook, and the winner will be contacted directly.

Every ticket offers a chance to win while helping preserve the stories and history of the Lombard community.
