Want to win $10k? Get your tickets now!
Who wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to win $10,000? Now, combine this with the chance to simultaneously support a nonprofit that has a big impact on the lives of community members and you’ve got one of the most exciting events of the year — the Pahrump Valley Rotary Club’s annual Cash Extravaganza.
The event isn’t scheduled to take place for another three months but readers won’t want to wait around. The Rotary Club’s Cash Extravaganza is hugely popular and it’s an event for which tickets are in high demand.
“If you haven’t purchased one, they are going fast,” Rotary Club member Dr. Tom Waters announced earlier this month. “This year the tickets for the $10,000 drawing are only $100. The $100 is tax deductible; you do not need to be present to win. Only 350 total tickets will be sold. Those are excellent odds.”
With the event landing the Saturday prior to the spookiest holiday of the year, the theme for the 2025 shindig is “Halloween.” Attendees are encouraged to put together costumes that are sure to impress as those with the most eye-catching attire will win prizes for Best Dressed. All kinds of other prize drawings will be held, too, at no additional cost and there are plans in the works for a silent auction as well. There will also be “Entertainment, fun, fun and more fun,” Waters enthused.
For those who may be unfamiliar with Rotary Club, this is an international organization whose main focus is bettering communities around the world. Through a variety of programs and an all-volunteer force, club chapters work daily to promote service above self.
Locally, the Pahrump chapter of Rotary was chartered in 1987 and its members have been involved in a plethora of philanthropic doings over the years. With donations to other valuable causes, events such as the annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony, building wheelchair-accessible ramps for residents in need, scholarships for students and so much more, the Pahrump Valley Rotary Club has become one of the valley’s most impactful nonprofits.
“The Rotary Club of Pahrump is a volunteer organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace,” the local club’s website details. “Whether you’re a veteran volunteer or new to community service, we’re looking for members who want to apply the ideal of service in their personal, business and community life.
“The Rotary Club of Pahrump is dedicated to our community and our members. We play an active roll in contributing to Pahrump, our youth and supporting Rotary International. We are proud to be members of Rotary District 5300 and Rotary International and our members participate in both district and international projects,” the group’s website continues.
Summarizing this community-oriented approach, Waters encouraged, “Just remember all the good things that Rotary does for our community, our teachers, our students, etcetera. They are celebrating over 30 years of service to our community. They need, and want, your support.”
A $100 Cash Extravaganza ticket gives one entry into the $10,000 cash drawing and allows two people to attend the extravaganza. Multiple tickets can be purchased. Dinner will also be available at an additional cost of $35 per person. Checks can be made payable to Pahrump Valley Rotary Club.

“Remember that you do not need to be present or in the area to win because we will contact you,” Waters emphasized.
The Pahrump Valley Rotary Club’s annual Cash Extravaganza is set for Saturday, Oct. 25 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Nevada Treasure RV Resort, 301 W. Leslie St.
