# Method 2: Traditional Manual Draw

## Manual Hybrid Draw Method

This traditional method lets you physically combine all tickets for the draw. While it requires more preparation, some organizations prefer this hands-on approach.

### How It Works

1. **Set Up Your Raffle**
   * Choose "Manual Draw" during registration
   * Set your total ticket count
   * Set how many online tickets
   * The rest become paper tickets

2. **Ticket Numbering**

   * We recommend numbering your paper tickets to start after your online ticket range
   * Our [pre-filled paper tickets ](/getting-started/special-raffles/how-to-run-a-hybrid-raffle-paper-+-online-tickets/pre-filled-paper-tickets-from-rafflelink.md)for download will start after your online ticket number range

   Example:

   * Total tickets: 3000
   * Online tickets: 2500
   * Starting online ticket number: 1
   * Result:
     * Online tickets: #1 - #2500
     * Paper tickets: #2501 - #3000

   **Pro Tip:** Start selling paper tickets from the highest number (#3000) working backwards. This gives you the flexibility to increase your online ticket allocation if needed without disrupting your paper ticket numbering.
3. **Selling Paper Tickets**
   * Sell paper tickets via cash or EFTPOS
   * Issue and **RETAIN ALL** paper ticket stubs
   * Keep track of total paper tickets sold
   * Reconcile proceeds daily
   * Maintain paper records of buyer information
4. **Choose Manual Draw Method**
