The 19th annual $100,000 Miracle Home Makeover to benefit the Children's Miracle Network Hospital at Faxton-St.Luke's Healthcare is underway, with a change this year.

Tickets are $100 each and must be purchased with cash only -- no checks, credit cards or money orders can be accepted.

Officials from the New York State Gaming Commission contacted the Faxton St. Luke's Foundation in March to inform them that tickets can only be bought with "legal tender", which is defined as cash.

The officials noted that all raffles in New York State can only accept cash as payment — a practice that not many charities throughout the state, including the FSLH Foundation, have been following.

For the last 18 years, the foundation has accepted credit and debit cards, personal checks and money orders, along with cash, as payment for tickets.

A maximum of 4,3000 tickets will be sold.

For tickets, call the FLSH Foundation office at (315) 624-5600.

The drawing for the Miracle Home Makeover will take place on October 21st.
