Tickets for each round are just $1.00 for 100 chances (or 6 for $5), staying true to the event’s name—one penny per chance. Winners are drawn randomly; participants can also visit the “swap table” to trade prizes with fellow attendees.

2nd prize: $250

3rd prize: $150

4th prize: $100

Refreshments will be available during the event.

Proceeds from the Penny Sale benefit the Ludlow Rotary Club’s scholarship fund for graduating high school seniors and support donations to local nonprofit organizations. In the past 23 years alone, the Rotary Club has awarded more than $271,000 in scholarships, with annual awards averaging $12,000.

Don’t miss this exciting night of community spirit and the chance to win great prizes—all while helping support education and charitable work in the Ludlow area.
