(Story written by Jennifer Thies)

TRENTON, Mo – The North Central Missouri College Athletic Booster Club is holding a fundraiser, based on the Missouri Pick 3 Lottery, in efforts to raise funds for Pirate Athletics. 

Booster Club President Doug Tye tells KTTNSports.com that Pirate Pick 3 will be held in March: 

The smallest prize in value is worth $250, with upwards of $10,000 in prizes expected overall: 

Booster Club members and members of the community donated approximately 90 percent of the prizes, with the Booster Club able to spend only a sparse amount of its own money on the items. 

There are 31 chances to win the Pirate Pick 3, matching the 31 days in the month of March.  It is possible for an individual to win more than once if their number is drawn multiple times. 

The Booster Club began selling tickets at the beginning of November for 20 dollars each.  There are 1,000 tickets available, and as of December 10th, 400 had been sold. 

Tickets can be purchased from any Booster Club member or from the front desk of the Ketcham Community Center.
