Editing Raffle (section)

==Process==
A raffle may involve several separate prizes, possibly donated, with a different ticket drawn for each prize, so a purchaser of a ticket may not be attracted to a specific prize, but for the possibility of winning any of those offered. The draw for prizes may be held at a special event, with many onlookers and overseen by a club official or well-known person. In the prize draw, one ticket is drawn for the initial prize; that ticket is then left out of the container. A second ticket is then drawn for the next prize, and that ticket also is discarded, and so on. This continues until all prizes have been won.

===Chinese auction===

A common practice for increasing revenue from ticket sales is to offer bulk sales of tickets, e.g., $10 per single ticket or $25 for three tickets, although this practice is illegal in some countries. This practise is also known as [[Chinese auction]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=McAfee |first1=Preston |title=Solution to exchanges 10.1 puzzle: Baffling Raffling debaffled |journal=ACM SIGecom Exchanges |date=1 December 2011 |volume=10 |issue=3 |pages=37–39 |doi=10.1145/2325702.2325712 |url=https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/2325702.2325712|url-access=subscription }}</ref> In some places, (eg.

Since the tickets cost little to produce, and the prize expense has been set, the number of tickets sold creates little or no additional cost for the raffle holders.
