Time is running out to get tickets to the Swift Museum raffle, as winning tickets will be drawn on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026.

The grand prize is a $30,000 credit with Ly-Con Aircraft Engines toward a new or rebuilt Continental or Lycoming engine or, if you prefer, you can take $20,000 cash.

Four additional prizes will also be awarded:

  • Second Prize: $2,000
  • Third Prize: $1,500
  • Fourth Prize: $750
  • Fifth Prize: $500

Tickets are one for $50, three for $135, five for $210, or 10 for $400. Only 2,500 will be sold, according to Swift Museum officials.

To make a purchase, go to SwiftRaffle.com. If you’d rather purchase tickets by phone, call the Swift Museum Foundation at 423-745-9547.

The Swift Museum Foundation is the type club for the Globe Swift and T-35 Buckaroo aircraft. The raffle is its sole annual fundraiser. Proceeds support operating expenses and parts acquisition to keep these vintage gems in the air, officials note.
