Since 1983, the Montauk Fire Department’s Big Bucks Bonanza has given away 1,641 prizes totaling $4,955,500 in prize money. Sunday, September 18, was the big drawing and feast at Montauk Firehouse.
Music was provided by The Realm. Proceeds from the Bonanza go to a scholarship fund for Montauk youth. Each scholarship is in memory of a Montauk firefighter who worked at Montauk School including Don Truesdale, Hank Zebrowski, Skip Cannon, and John Mulligan.
