What information should I include on my Raffle Tickets?

A raffle ticket has to serve two purposes at once: identify the entry for the drawing and give the buyer proof of purchase. Cover both by including the essentials on the stub and the main ticket.

• Unique sequential number printed on both the stub and the main ticket so the two halves match.
• Organization name and logo to establish who is running the raffle.
• Event name and drawing date so buyers know when and what they are entering.
• Prize description to build interest and set expectations.
• Buyer name and phone lines on the stub for contacting the winner.
• Legal disclaimers required by your state, usually set in small type at the bottom.

Keep the layout clean and the numbering consistent, since a mismatched stub and ticket can invalidate a winning entry.
