Thought it was impossible to nab tickets to Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship game in Atlanta?

Don’t count yourself out.

A Villa Rica-based company  is raffling away two suites-level tickets  to the big game between UGA and Alabama.

“Tickets are so expensive, I wanted to create an affordable opportunity for people  to be able to attend the game and raise money for our foundation,” said Brian Preston, owner of Lamon Luther. “It can be a win-win for everyone.”

Lamon Luther, which makes furniture and tiny houses, employs people who suffer from homelessness and addiction. It also made about 120 tables for the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The tickets are located in suite 131.

The drawing will take place between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. Sunday. The entry period closes at 8 p.m. Sunday. The winner will be announced at night. To enter go to the raffle site.
