About Dakota Jackpots
Dakota Jackpots is a South Dakota–based raffle fundraising platform dedicated to supporting local nonprofits through weekly 50/50 and progressive raffles. Operated by Sioux Falls Fireworks, a patriotism-focused South Dakota nonprofit led by “Big” John Small of Sunny Radio, Dakota Jackpots brings together community engagement, trusted leadership, and modern fundraising technology.
As an administrator of the 605 Raffles platform, Dakota Jackpots helps veterans organizations, community groups, and other South Dakota nonprofits raise funds in an entertaining and transparent way. Our raffles are designed to keep dollars local, provide clear transparent drawings, and create an enjoyable experience for participants who want to support causes that matter close to home.
Our Mission
Our mission at Dakota Jackpots is to help South Dakota nonprofits build sustainable funding through transparent, community-driven raffle programs. By administering weekly 50/50 and progressive raffles, we provide organizations with a reliable way to raise funds while giving participants a fair and engaging experience.
Through our implementation of the 605 Raffles platform, we emphasize accountability, local impact, and long-term support for veterans, patriotic causes, and community nonprofits across South Dakota. Every ticket sold helps strengthen the organizations that serve our state and the people who call it home.
