How To Register A Hybrid Raffle

Overview

This guide explains how to effectively combine traditional paper ticket sales with RaffleLink's online system. Learn how to set up, manage, and conduct draws for hybrid raffles.

Initial Setup

Registration Process

1. During raffle registration, indicate that you will be using paper tickets by selecting "Paper & Online Tickets" for Raffle Type

   • Note: Selecting a Hybrid Raffle Type (Paper + Online) will disable our online draw functionality and prompt a manual draw

2. Enter the total number of tickets (paper + online) in the "Total Number of Tickets on Sale" field

Tip:

• Assign sequential numbering: online tickets first, paper tickets last

• Example setup:

  • Online tickets: #1 - #1000

  • Paper tickets: #1001 - #2000

Why? So you can start paper ticket sales from the end of your sequence which allows you to add more online tickets if needed

Managing Paper Ticket Sales and Payments

Payment Collection

• RaffleLink does not process payments for paper tickets

• You will need to manage cash and other payment methods independently

• Consider these best practices for payment handling:

  1. Use a dedicated cash box or point of sale system

  2. Issue receipts for all transactions

  3. Maintain a separate sales log with:

     • Date of sale

     • Ticket numbers sold

     • Payment method

     • Amount received

     • Seller's initials

  4. Reconcile payments daily if possible
