I read this as the raffle ticket special being an OPTION, not a REQUIREMENT. Please note that this is a completely private event. Food is available only by buying a raffle ticket, and there is no ordering from the general menu allowed. Really disappointing, as a visit from Dick’s is such a rare event.
Sorry, comment time is over.
