A Wayne couple that entered a Lions Club raffle earlier this month will be occupying two seats on the 20-yard line come Sunday's big game at MetLife Stadium.
According to a release from the Wayne Lions' Club Friday, Ron and Kathy Vanderploeg got a phone call from club members earlier this month announced that their names were pulled to win two tickets to the Super Bowl, sitting at level 1, row 19. Each ticket has a face value of $1,500.
