Annual Red Ticket Drawing
Join the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce for one of the island’s most beloved holiday traditions, the Annual Red Ticket Drawing! Gather with us at the top of Main Street on Christmas Eve, December 24, at 1:00 pm, when we will draw five $1,000 cash prizes and one incredible $5,000 grand prize. It could be the merriest surprise of your holiday season!
Beginning November 1 through December 23, every $25 spent at a participating local business earns you one Red Ticket and a chance to win. Double your chances during our special Double Red Ticket Days on November 27 through 28, and throughout the weekend of December 18 through 20. Participating businesses will also host their own Double Red Ticket Days, so follow us on social media to find even more opportunities to enter.
The excitement will not stop with our traditional cash prizes! Following last year’s celebration, we will once again draw three additional surprise prizes as an extra thank-you to the community for showing up and supporting our island businesses.
Shopping locally has never been more important. Every purchase helps our merchants, restaurants, and service providers finish the year strong while keeping Nantucket’s economy and community vibrant throughout every season. Put your holiday dollars where your heart is, discover something special, and enjoy plenty of chances to win along the way.

Happy holidays, and happy local shopping!
