Raffle.it / How to play

We numbered our tickets 1. We numbered out tickets 2. I numbered my ticket 3, yay! In this example the lowest unique and thereform winning number is 3.

These are no ordinary raffles. These are super exciting, nail biting raffles! Each has a limited number of tickets available and prizes are awarded irrespective of how many get sold!

You get to number your own tickets and the key to winning is having the lowest unique number when the raffle ends.

We hit the streets of Guildford to see what how people would play the new raffle…

The basket page has this little gem to help you number your tickets:

Evolution of raffles

Raffles have been with us for a long time … can you remember your first time? They have performed nobly in the past, helping charities, schools and good causes the world over to raise money. Little has changed to the raffle whilst all around people’s attention levels decreased in direct correlation to their increasing expectations.

Until now. We’ve smothered the best bits of the raffle with web sauce, stuffed it sweet excitement and baked it in the oven of interactivity. The raffle has caught up with the rest of us and now through the services we offer provides fundraisers with a fantastic hassle-free tool and you, our newest friend, a whole lot of fun.

No longer an engage-less activity, entering a raffle now requires a little skill and some quick responses. You must choose your ticket numbers wisely, with the aim of having the lowest number chosen by only one person. Play strategically - knock out other players by buying their ticket numbers too, all the while protecting your own, hopefully, winning numbers. Respond quickly to being knocked out yourself to stay in the raffle.

Be proud of winning … it has nothing to do with chance and everything to do with you!

Oh and my first time? At school … I so wanted that lego! The rest of the team share their first times in the About Us section.
