The grand prize winner of the Routt/Our Saviour Dreams drawing was from out of state this year, but has close Jacksonville ties.
Matt Horabik, brother to 2020 Dreams co-chair Joe Horabik from Stoughton, Wisconsin, was the grand prize winner of $100,000. Matt bought the winning ticket from his niece, Joe’s daughter. Horabik says they buy a ticket each year just to support the schools with no expectation of winning, let alone taking home the grand prize.
Second place of $40,000 went to George Kesinger of Jacksonville with third place going to Kilby Killebrew of Hillview for $10,000.
The Geirnaeirt Family were the honorary envelope takers this year for the drawing. The Dreams drawing tickets sold out early Friday morning despite all of the challenges presented this year. Video of the drawing can be seen here.
