Jubilee Raffle Winners Celebrate their Good Fortune

May 18, 2015
 

Tamara Fletcher just got a brand new car for $50.

Well, that was the price she paid for the winning Jubilee Raffle ticket.

Once she learned she had won the car, Tamara, a NorthBay Medical Center ICU nurse, raced to the stage at the Solano Wine & Food Jubilee and embraced Rami Yanni, owner of Vacaville Nissan and Vacaville Buick GMC, who had donated the car.

"I was so excited, so overwhelmed," she said.

Within days of the Jubilee, Tamara had already arranged to pick out her car - a silver 2015 Nissan Altima with all the latest bells and whistles. She drove onto the lot in a 2003 model that she was more than glad to trade in. "I had been planning on buying a new car this year," she explained.

The Jubilee Raffle netted more than $45,000 this year, an increase over previous years.

More than 20 ticketholders learned they were also winners in this year's Jubilee Cash Raffle. They included Eric Snyder, who won $2,500 and Stacey Canady, who won $1,000.

Stacey also won $500, as did Dr. Anthony Marino, Peter Garcia, Dan Fowler, Edna Mendoza, Robert Rios, Crystal Welch, Floral Khanna, Jason Johnson and Dr. Murray Woolf. Winners claiming $125 included Craig Bryan - who incidentally won the car in last year's raffle - Shannon Lewis, Patrick Popola, John McKaig, John Amaral, Kim Field, Scott Thomas, Sonny Antonio, Peter Vessels and Margaret Johnson.

David Shaw won two $125 prizes, and Susie Steinlein won the Entertainment Package.

Many thanks once again to the 2015 Solano Wine & Food Jubilee's Presenting Sponsors: Al and Patt Shaw, Freeman Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Gold's Gym, Luminous Marketing and Media, and Vacaville Buick GMC and Vacaville Nissan.

The date for the 2016 Jubilee has yet to be set, keep checking the www.wineandfoodjubilee.org website for updates.
