The West Side Nut Club says its Fall Festival Half Pot drawing has exceeded $1 million

The Fall Festival’s half pot has already surpassed the one-million dollar mark. WNIN’S John Gibson has more:

The West Side Nut Club says strong tickets sales boosted the half pot to more than a million dollars Tuesday night.

The popular drawing set a record last year of more than two-point-six million.

The club introduced the half pot in 2019, when the total topped one-point-two million.

Online ticket sales were added last year for Indiana residents.

One lucky winner takes home half the pot and the other half covers expenses and is distributed among not-for-profit agencies.

The festival along W. Franklin St. in Evansville continues through Saturday night.
