TMC Mega Raffle Reveals Second Grand Prize, Valued at $150,000

Online, March 25, 2014 (Newswire.com) - TMC Mega Raffle announces its top secret, second Grand Prize - a 2014 Tesla Model S, the first ever electric luxury car. The package valued at $150,000 will allow the winner to fully customize their Tesla, selecting its interior, exterior, added features and battery package, and still have cash left or they can opt to leave the car and walk away with $150,000 in cash.

"Each year I try to find prizes that will turn heads and making people stop in their tracks," said Kathy Rice, executive director and spokesperson for the TMC Mega Raffle. "The Tesla is that and more. I can hardly wait to meet the lucky winner who will be getting the keys to the car of the future."

The Tesla S was recently named Best Overall Car of 2014 by Consumer Reports, which cited the electric luxury vehicle's "blistering acceleration, razor-sharp handling, compliant ride and versatile cabin," calling it "a technological tour de force." The Tesla S has a keyless operation system and boasts 17-inch touch screen controls, full Internet access and zero-emission driving capabilities.

TMC Mega Raffle's other grand prize package is valued at more than $700,000, and includes a customizable A.F. Sterling home, a 2014 luxury Hyundai Equus Signature and cash. The winner can also opt to keep the car and forgo the home, driving away with $655,000 in cash.

Each TMC Mega Raffle ticket has a one in 20 chance of winning. Other prizes include some of the coolest new car models from local Tucson dealers, a variety of exciting vacation packages, and a selection of popular electronics, jewelry, and home accessories.

"The Mega Raffle helps support patient care at Tucson Medical Center," said Michael Duran, vice president & chief development officer of TMC Foundation. "It will enable the hospital to raise money for expanding the innovative health care services and many health programs we offer our community."
