The Somerville High School Scholarship Foundation held its annual $10K drawing on Friday, May 8 at the school’s culinary arts café.

This yearly event attracted about 60 tickets holders and their representatives. The committee sold approximately 225 tickets at $100 each over the past month or so.

The money raised by this event goes to scholarships for Somerville students. Over the past 25 years since they have raised over one million dollars through events like this and others.

It all came down to the last 10 tickets holders, who were given the chance to proceed or stop and split the money. The first couple of participants chose to continue drawing. The final seven ticket holders decided to split the remaining amount of money, sharing about $1,400.

The foundation will hold a 25th anniversary dinner at the Holiday Inn on October 17. Tickets will go on sale soon.
