The Annual Business Expo & Trade Show is presented by the Commerce Industrial Council Chamber of Commerce and will, again, be hosted at the DoubleTree Los Angeles/Commerce Hotel in the City of Commerce.
In addition, this year’s Business Expo is being combined with our Annual $10,000 Fall Jackpot Drawing…right at the Expo!

2009 ANNUAL $10,000 FALL JACKPOT DRAWING

The ultimate pirate adventure! A chance at $10,000. It could be you!
The Chamber’s answer to million-dollar game shows and big money lottery winnings is just around the corner. Indeed, our Annual Fall Jackpot, where a $100 ticket can win $10,000 easily, is scheduled for Wednesday, September 23, 2009, right at the business expo. Tickets are on sale now! Contact the Chamber to get yours today!
Here’s how it’s done. Only 250 tickets will be sold and groups may purchase a single ticket in order to participate in the event, whose theme this year is “Pirate’s Secret Treasure.” Winnings over $600 will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The drawing, which benefits and supports ongoing Chamber member programs and advocacy efforts, will have plenty of additional cash prizes besides the $10,000. The event will also feature second and third prizes—a flat-screen HDTV and a digital camera, respectively.
Tickets will be on sale until the first one is drawn at the event. Some time after the business expo convenes, the drawing will begin. The first ticket drawn wins the $10,000, but that person or group’s name is not revealed or announced until the rest of the tickets have been drawn. Ticket holders do not need to be present to win.
Come dressed the Part(y). A winner will be selected for best pirate costume and awarded a special prize. If you came last year, you know what a festive atmosphere it was. We’re taking it up a few notches this year and making it even more memorable. Join us!
If you would like to sell tickets for the Jackpot, contact the Chamber to have tickets assigned to you. The seller of the $10,000 winning ticket will be given $1,000.
For more information, or to purchase a ticket this summer, call the Chamber office at (323) 728-7222, or visit our office, located in the Bank of the West Building at 6055 E. Washington Blvd., Suite 120 in the City of Commerce. Remember, only 250 tickets will be sold!
