If you can get your prize(s) donated you can maximize the proceeds of your raffle. If you must purchase your prize(s) try and do it with a vendor that is willing to heavily discount the prize. You can offer to promote their business in return for the prize which will increase their business. Another idea is to hold a 50/50 raffle where 50% of the proceeds of the raffle go to the winner and 50% goes to your charity.

Selling tickets online through MyEvent will allow you to sell tickets to anyone around the world by major credit card and easily manage the raffle with clear and concise reports that can be downloaded at any time.

When it comes time to pick a winner you should invite all the people who purchased a raffle ticket to a live Zoom meeting where you can pick a winner. Use a website like wheelofnames.com to randomly select a winner. Copy and paste the list of names from your excel spreadsheet into the box on the website and click spin. It is that easy. The wheel of names will randomly select a winner on your live zoom call.

Create an online registration web page on myevent.com/tickets where participants will pay to register for your event. Then use a website like myfreebingocards.com to get virtual bingo cards and even call the bingo numbers. Use Zoom or another online video conferencing platform to allow everyone to participate at the same time.

This is a fun and great way to raise money through the registration fees and you can also add a donation button to your MyEvent website. If you can get prizes donated you can also combine this with a raffle or have prizes for winners.
