Question

Can I sell raffle tickets to benefit someone for charity?

Community Answer

That would be very kind of you, but you'll need to consult your state's government website to check out the laws regarding raffles in your region.

Question

Should I call only the tickets that were bought?

Community Answer

Yes, because you may call out an unbought ticket and there would be no one to claim the prize.

Question

Should we sell them individually, or as a strip of 5?

Community Answer

In my opinion it is best if you sell a strip of five or more. That way you will make more money as people will be purchasing more tickets.

How do I legally sell raffle tickets?

Community Answer

That really depends on which state you live in. You should look up the laws on your state's official website. Some legal offices within your state may post frequently-asked questions online; a Google search on "laws selling raffle tickets " may save you wading through a lot of legalese.

Question

What happens if two people have the same ticket number?

Community Answer

For store-bought tickets, the roll never comes with two of the same number. If you're making the tickets at home, look the them over to make sure there are no duplicates.

Question

When I sign a raffle ticket, must it match my ID's name exactly?

Community Answer

Usually, you want to keep it the same as your ID unless you are signing it for someone else. If you use a fake name, it'll be hard to prove it's you.
