ATWOOD -- A rifle raffle is shooting far past expectation. The town's struggling little league program is benefiting from the armory's raffle of an AR-15.

So far, about $15,000 worth of $20 tickets have been sold. People from around the country are buying them.

The rifle benefiting the Camden Foundation has a strong pace as well. It's sold more than $12,000 in tickets. That raffle ends this month. The little league raffle ends in late June.
