How to purchase Savannah Bananas Tickets –  The Lottery

The Savannah Bananas are known for their ticket lottery system, which adds an element of excitement to ticket buying. Here’s how it works:

  1. Enter the Lottery: For select games or special events, the Bananas may hold a ticket lottery. To enter, you’ll need to visit their website and look for information about the specific lottery event.
  2. Registration: Follow the instructions to register for the lottery. This usually involves providing your contact information and sometimes answering a trivia question or completing a fun task to enhance your chances.
  3. Wait for Results: After the lottery entry period closes, the Bananas will randomly select winners. If you’re chosen, you’ll receive an email notification with instructions on how to purchase tickets for the game.
