Home for the Holidays: KPEL Listener Wins Big in First Prize Drawing

On Friday, October 1st, Home for the Holidays kicked off their 2021 campaign as representatives from the Acadian Home Builders Association and the four charities that will benefit from this year's raffle were featured on the KPEL airwaves on Acadiana's Morning News and OFFSIDES.

Over $2.3 Million has been distributed to local charities since 2005.

This Year's Brand New Home

Which KPEL listener won the $2400?

Joni Hamilton was announced as the winner on October 4th. Her husband, Dave, is an avid listener of KPEL and calls in often (as well as substitute guest hosts from time to time) on OFFSIDES.

We buy tickets every year - always in my wife's name because she deserves it more than I do," said Dave as he called in to OFFSIDES following the announcement. "We drove by the home the other day and it's a beautiful home! If you win, you win a great prize but the biggest prize that we get is every single penny that is raised stays right here in the Acadiana area. That is important to me."

Congratulations to Dave and Joni Hamilton!
