The way I understand it is that you offer, say, up to a $250 shopping spree. The tickets are $10 each. $5 goes straight to the organization and the other $5 goes to the shopping spree. Once you have sold 50 tickets (50 at $10 = $500) then you draw for a shopping spree. That way you have something concrete to advertise and you also can do more than one if the ticket sales are huge. Is this what you meant?

I think you could play it an actual 50/50 no mater how much you sale. Or you could a shopping spree for every certan amount sold. I have presented this to an organization with letting them make that choice. I have some info typed up that i post on here somawhere. I call it "Split the Pot" You could do a search and probably find it. I would just post it again but it is on my work computer.
You could enter it as a show under your name and take the FPV. Or you could enter it as a Fundraiser and the organization would earn an additional 15%.

I would start with a $150 shopping spree so you could make sure that it would go in as a show. Have a start and end date scheduled. Give incentives for the raffle ticket sellers to keep selling throughout the time period. Each time you hit $300 in ticket sales, you have a shopping spree. Don't draw the shopping sprees until the time is up otherwise you give those who bought first an unfair chance. Although...that might be a selling point. As soon as we sell 30 tickets we will draw for a shopping spree. Do you want to be one in 30 or one in 300? Hmmmm....

I had thought about on mine suggesting to draw one winner per $500 in ticket sales. Drawing them all at the end. I would print that on the tickets. I would sale tickets for a month. The committee I presented my idea to will not do anything until the next school year, but I have my foot in the door and plan to stay in touch with them. The lady really liked that they would not have to delivery anything!
