Luck of the Lakes Raffle – 2020

You could win the trip of a lifetime or $10,000 cash!

Imagine yourself on the deck of a 1,000-foot freighter as it steams across the vast waters of Lake Superior. Pretend for a moment you’re watching a giant vessel work through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie. Envision a tour of the engine room and the pilothouse—something very few of the general public will ever see. Picture yourself tasting the world-famous Great Lakes Freighter meals specially prepared from an Interlake chef.

Can’t quite picture it? Unless you’ve taken a Great Lakes freighter trip, it can be hard to appreciate how incredible it really is. See for yourself by watching the short video below. If a freighter trip really isn’t for you, there is always the option to take $10,000 cash!

You simply have nothing to lose! This is your chance for a trip of a lifetime OR a $10,000 cash prize. PLUS, every cent earned goes to support our mission, to preserve and make known the history of the great lakes.
