Raffle.it / What’s Changed & How to play
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.

We hit the streets of Guildford to see what how people would play the new raffle…
Help when you need it most
The basket page has this little gem to help you number your tickets:

As you’ve probably worked out already, this bar shows you the last five lowest unique numbers and the most often used numbers. Did you know if you click on the recent winning numbers it takes you to the complete raffle breakdown?
Each recently won raffle table shows you how many times each number was chosen, giving you a good indication of the popularity of those numbers.
