Your settings will vary based on your needs and the platform you\u2019re using. We\u2019ll be setting up our raffle using one of&nbsp;Qgiv\u2019s&nbsp;event forms, which are included in&nbsp;our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Start package<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of how you configure your raffle,&nbsp;here are some important best practices to keep in mind:\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Because you\u2019re using your form to sell raffle tickets, <strong>change the receipt language<\/strong> to reference raffle ticket purchases, not tickets to an event.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><li>Be sure to give purchasers the <strong>ability to make one-time donation<\/strong>s for those who want to give an additional donation while purchasing raffle tickets.\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Pay attention to start and end dates.<\/strong> When you set a start and end date for registration, you create the window during which you\u202fcan sell tickets on this form. If the raffle coincides with an event or if there\u2019s a special drawing time, set the registration cutoff date to just before the drawing is to take place.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Create Charity Raffle Ticket Packages<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your form is set up, it\u2019s time to create charity raffle tickets.&nbsp;Before you design your raffle ticket package, answer these questions:\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Is there a discount for purchasing multiple raffle tickets?\u202f&nbsp;<ul><li>If yes, can the multi-ticket discount amount be applied evenly across the number of purchased tickets or will the purchase total be off by a few cents?\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Is there one prize or multiple prizes donors can enter to win?\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The answers to these questions determine the best way to set up your package(s).\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not offering a multi-ticket discount, you can set the package price as the cost of one raffle ticket.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do want to add a discount, you can still set the package price as the cost of one raffle ticket, but you\u2019ll want to be mindful of how the discounts are applied. In some cases, a discount can\u2019t be applied evenly across the number of tickets.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, this raffle ticket discount was supposed to be three tickets for $100. Because $100 isn\u2019t divisible by three,\u202f we set the ticket price for three packages to&nbsp;$33.33.\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"594\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"Image of a charity raffle event form with three raffle ticket packages selected, showing a per ticket price of $33.33. \" class=\"wp-image-27662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image.png 594w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If your discount is going to be divisible evenly across the number of tickets purchased, it\u2019ll be fine to set a multi-ticket discount this way. If not, you can create packages that coincide with a set number of tickets at the price you choose. Donors will then have to select that package deal on the event form to purchase that number of tickets.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Set Up a Raffle Prize Custom Field<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve built your package(s), you\u2019ll want to create a custom field to display when donors purchase their packages. Donors will then select a custom field response for each raffle ticket they purchase.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re offering multiple prizes, the custom field is where donors will choose what prize their charity raffle ticket will be entered to win.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re setting up your field, make sure to give it&nbsp;a&nbsp;reporting label, which will show up when you export your ticket sales information. You want to come up with&nbsp;a label you can identify quickly when you\u2019re drawing your raffle winners. For example,&nbsp;&#8220;Raffle Prize.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, make sure your new custom field is required so donors don\u2019t miss it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s\u202fonly\u202fone\u202fprize,\u202fyou can just use a checkbox so donors\u202fmust check the box to confirm they&#8217;re entering the drawing.\u202fIn this case you\u2019ll want the displayed field to read something like,&nbsp;\u201cEnter me to win [Prize].\u201d\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-5.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-5.png\" alt=\"Raffle ticket custom field with a checkbox with a label reading &quot;Enter me to win!&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-27682\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have multiple prize options, you might want to go with a drop-down field.\u202fDonors will then pick a prize from the drop-down menu for each ticket they purchase.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-7.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"574\" height=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-7.png\" alt=\"Charity raffle ticket custom field labeled &quot;Raffle Ticket for Prize&quot; with a drop-down menu and options for Peloton Exercise Bike, 2 tickets to Billy Joel Concert, and Wine and Cheese Gift Basket. \" class=\"wp-image-27686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-7.png 574w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-7-300x94.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve added your custom field and opened&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/event-on-the-horizon-try-these-registration-form-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">event registration<\/a>, donors can purchase raffle tickets using your event form!\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How purchasing charity raffle tickets looks to donors<\/strong>\u202f&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When donors access your form, they\u2019ll\u202fsee the\u202fEvents\u202fBanner with a link to go to your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/14623-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">event<\/a>&nbsp;form.\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-8.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"69\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/image-8.png\" alt=\"Event banner with hyperlink that reads, &quot;Join us for an upcoming event!
