The posted winners list includes administrative pickup instructions: “Prizes can be claimed at Club 1883. Winners are validated by matching the information on the ticket stub with a valid form of identification.” The JRFD post closes with thank-you language: “Congratulations to all of the winners! A huge thanks to all of our sponsors and supporters for helping us pull off this event. We look forward to seeing everyone next year!”

The winners file supplied for this report is fragmented and headed “2025 JRFD Raffle Winners,” creating a discrepancy with the Feb. 21, 2026 tournament date in JRFD’s event description. The posted fragment also contains repeated entries of the name Jakob Barnard without an assigned prize or ticket number. Those inconsistencies appear in JRFD’s public winners post and leave the year-to-prize link and a few name assignments unclear. Prize winners listed above should present their ticket stub and valid ID at Club 1883 to claim awards as stated in JRFD’s posted instructions.
