WVII, WABI report on UMaine raffle to win free tuition for a year
WVII (Channel 7) and WABI (Channel 5) reported the University of Maine Alumni Association is again offering its Annual Tuition Raffle. The winner will receive one year of in-state tuition at UMaine, totaling more than $8,000. A $5 donation per ticket is suggested, WVII reported. “It’s fun to make the call to the individual who has won to say, ‘Guess what? You’ve just won a year’s worth of tuition at the University of Maine,’” said John Diamond, president and executive director of the UMaine Alumni Association. “Sometimes they don’t believe it. One year a student who one was actually watching us stream the drawing live on the computer and couldn’t believe he heard his name mentioned.” Tickets are available on the UMaine Alumni Association’s website.
