How Raffles Work
Raffles are random drawings where participants purchase tickets and one or more winners are selected. Each ticket represents an equal chance to win. The host sets the prize structure and conducts the drawing.
Raffle Types
Single Drawing
One winner is drawn from all tickets. Perfect for a simple raffle with one prize.
Multiple Drawings
Multiple winners are drawn in sequence. Great for raffles with several prizes or rounds.
Prize Options
Hosts can define prizes in multiple ways:
Fixed Prize
Set dollar amount per winner (e.g., $100)
Percentage Prize
Winner gets a % of total ticket sales
Custom Prize
Non-monetary prize (e.g., gift card, item)
Ticket System
Ticket Bundles
Hosts create pricing tiers (e.g., 1 ticket for $10, 5 for $45).
Sequential Assignment
Each purchase is assigned consecutive ticket numbers automatically.
Random Selection
Winners are selected via fair random drawing from all assigned ticket numbers.
No Reassignment
If a participant is removed, their ticket numbers are removed permanently and not reassigned.
