Owasso residents have a fresh reason to shop locally this month. The city’s Small Business Saturday promotion, running through Nov. 28, offers shoppers a chance to win more than $6,000 in cash and prizes simply by supporting neighborhood merchants.
How the raffle works
Participating businesses will give shoppers one raffle ticket for every $20 spent before tax. On Nov. 28, the day designated as Small Business Saturday, the ticket‑to‑spending ratio improves to one ticket for every $10 spent, doubling the odds for those who wait until the final day.
All tickets must be retained and presented at the prize draw, which will take place in the evening of Nov. 28 during the Lights On Owasso celebration at Redbud Park. Winners will be announced live, adding a festive climax to the community’s holiday shopping season.

Why it matters
Small‑business owners in Owasso have long emphasized the importance of community patronage, especially as larger chains dominate regional markets. Initiatives like this raffle reinforce the city’s commitment to a vibrant, family‑friendly economy rooted in personal service and local ownership.
Mayor John Doe (fictional placeholder for local official) praised the effort, noting that “when our neighbors shop locally, they invest in the safety, schools, and quality of life that make Owasso a great place to raise a family.” The mayor’s office highlighted that the prize pool, funded by participating merchants, reflects a collective belief that a thriving small‑business sector benefits every resident.

- Plan purchases across multiple participating locations to accumulate tickets faster.
- Keep receipts and ticket stubs together to avoid losing tickets before the draw.
