I have been to events called Calcuttas that are charity events. You purchase a ball or balls with numbers on them. You can choose your number if it hasn't been taken already. The prices of the balls go from $10 at certain events to hundreds at others. They usually sell 100 balls but I have seen Calcuttas with 200. The drawing is usually combined with a dinner and, yes, you have to be there to win. The drawing goes like this: the balls are pulled from a rotating drum and if your ball is drawn you are out. There is no prize if you are eliminated. The last 3 balls are prize balls. I've never won but have come in second. I ALWAYS donated my winnings back to the charity. I'm not saying your husband should donate all of his winnings back to the club (is this for charity) but something would be nice.

@SW-User yes, if it was for a cause it is nice to give back, but his is only a social thing at work.
