Last One Standing - explained
A Closer Look...
What happens when you take a charity raffle, reverse said raffle, and make it to where the last drawn ticket is the winner? You get the KofC “Last One Standing” charity event. What is the LOS?
For over 20 years the Knights of Columbus have been conducting the reverse raffle, presently known as Last One Standing. The event used to be housed in the Boerne City building, which was turned into the YMCA in 2018. In 2007 the church built the Family Life Center, where LOS has been held since. Last One Standing has continued to be the largest fundraiser for the Knights of Columbus Council 10940 and is a popular event within the Parish and the community at large. Participants purchase raffle tickets, which includes 1 Reverse-Raffle Entry, Admission for 2 with dinner, drinks, and a chance to win the 1st place prize ($5,000), 2nd place prize ($1,000), or 3rd place prize ($500). The net funds from the raffle are used to support the council’s charitable efforts in the areas of Faith, Church, Life, Families and Community.

A Reverse Raffle?
Last One Standing being a reverse raffle means the first ticket drawn is a losing ticket, however, a consolation prize will be given to the holder and every 25th ticket drawn. As stated, above this is a reverse raffle, which means the 3rd from last wins the $500, the 2nd from last wins the $1,000, and the last ticket to be drawn is the overall winner of the $5,000. If the people who purchased the tickets are in attendance, they can split the total of $6,500 equally or continue the raffle to see who wins. The awards given are HEB, or prepaid debit cards. Cash prizes are prohibited under Texas’ Charitable Raffle Enabling Act.

- Heads and Tails: A game where patrons prebuy beads, limit of 10. $5 per bead this year. Discount up to 10 beads. Patrons stand with a single strand of beads on their head or their tail. The emcee flips a coin, if heads is called those who chose heads remain standing, the ones who chose tails sit down. This continues until there is only one person standing.
- Split the Pot: Patrons purchase as many tickets as desired, one ticket is drawn and receives half of the total purchases.
