Early Bird Winners’ Stories – 2025

Early Bird Winner #1 – I. Dupont

I. Dupont – $75,000 winner

Tucson resident, I. Dupont said he drives by TMC every day and can walk to it from his home. He started entering the TMC Mega Raffle six or seven years ago after he received a brochure in the mail. His mother received care at TMC before her passing. “I wanted to give back,” Mr. Dupont said. Entering the TMC Mega Raffle is a way he can do that and honor his mom. He never won anything before and was thrilled to get the call from Kathy learning he was the Early Bird winner of the $75,000 cash prize. He’s now thinking about using some of the prize money to explore Japan – a dream vacation he was saving for; buy something nice for his fiancé and put some in savings. When offering his thoughts about entering the TMC Mega Raffle Mr. Dupont says, “It’s a great cause and the money goes toward a good thing – helping people and healthcare, and the opportunity to win is real. That’s a win-win for everyone.”

Early Bird Winner #2 – T. Mills

T. Mills – 2025 Lexus TX + 19,000

T. Mills of Oro Valley was amazed to learn he is this year’s Early Bird prize winner of the 2025 Lexus TX + $19,000 prize package valued at $75,000. Mr. Mills says he’s entered the TMC Mega Raffle a few times before and won a smaller prize once – but this was a nice surprise. He likes the odds and he and his wife receive their care through TMC doctors. He is excited to share the news with his neighbors. “People should take a chance – the odds are much better than the lottery!”
