Local church raffle

On Facebook, a raffle was posted by a church that meets down the road from our house.  They are raising money for their building (which is currently constructed of metal roofing panels for the walls and roof).  Each ticket costs Q5, which is about $0.65.  The prizes are typical for the rural community here:

1st prize: a pig

2nd prize: a rooster

3rd prize: a traditional Chichicastenango skirt

4th prize: Q200 ($26)

5th prize: a surprise
