An incredible chance to win your choice of a brand new Kenworth T909 or K220 is up for grabs, through a local footy club’s $1000 a ticket truck raffle.
The competition is being run by the Hepburn Football and Netball Club in Victoria – and it’s the sixth time they’ve raffled off a Kenworth.
With sales capped to just 1200 raffle tickets, those who take a punt are in with a 1 in 1200 chance of taking home a brand new Kenworth.
The first prize is either a Kenworth T909 or K220, valued at almost $500,000, including on-road costs. Two runners-up will receive a $10,000 prepaid fuel card.
“The $1000 raffle ticket price is not a huge outlay in the scheme of things, being about the cost of a tank and a half of fuel for a truck – which gets you a 1 in 1200 chance to win this amazing prize,” said Jason Dooley.
Jason grew up around the club, from playing junior footy as a kid to being part of the committee; and currently runs his own transport business called Oz Trans.
The truck raffle draw is now less than two months away. Raffle tickets will be on sale until April 2, 2026 (strictly limited to 1200 entrants), with the winner drawn on April 6, 2026.
At the time of print, the raffle was around halfway sold. “This sort of competition isn’t something we do all the time, it only comes around every three to four years,” said Jason.
“Our previous raffles have sold out early, so it’s best to get in quick to avoid missing out. We know that things are tight out there, however this is an amazing opportunity with amazing odds at winning a prize worth half a million dollars. The prize is absolutely massive – and we really appreciate everyone’s support.”
Jason added that fundraisers are an important part of keeping community clubs going strong. They also allow kids to continue playing the sports they love, without their families having to spend an exorbitant amount on fees.
The Hepburn Football and Netball Club first began its popular truck raffles back in the 1990s, where it raffled two Kenworth T900s and a T950. Then when Kenworth launched the Legend 900 in 2017, it saw the return of the club’s truck raffles, with the Legend SAR raffled off in 2023.
“The truck raffles are a huge fundraiser for our club. They’ve meant we can build a lot of infrastructure for the local community at our headquarters – including new changerooms and an electronic scoreboard. The next step will be to upgrade the social rooms – that’s where we’re planning on spending the money from this raffle,” added Jason.
For these latest trucks up for grabs, Jason worked closely with Ron Ludbrook at PACCAR to get them fully specced up.
The “winner’s choice” element was a decision made by the club, in conjunction with PACCAR. As a result, two trucks have been built.
“One of the trucks will go to the raffle winner and then Kenworth Derrimut will sell the other one from the dealership,” said Jason.
Both the T909 and K220 have longer wheelbases with extra tanks, along with custom interiors. And the seats have Hepburn Football and Netball club stitched into the leather.
