### Important Considerations Before Starting

#### Timing & Performance

* **Off-Peak Processing**: For best results, process bulk entries during off-peak hours
* **Processing Time**: Expect longer loading times than individual ticket entry
* **Page Navigation**: Wait for complete processing before closing the tab
* **Verification**: Check Raffle Reports tab to confirm successful processing

### Using the Tool

#### Before You Begin

1. Gather all required information for each sale:
   * First and Last Name
   * Email Address
   * Phone Number
   * State
   * Ticket Package Selection
2. Check available tickets at the top of the page

#### Processing Entries

1. Enter up to 5 sales at once
2. Fill all fields in each row you're using (empty rows are skipped)
3. Double-check details match your paper records
4. Click "Process Entries" to submit
5. If an error occurs, the form will prompt you to fix the error and still save all the data you have entered for you to easily resubmit

#### Confirming Success

When entries are processed successfully:

1. The page will refresh and a green flash message will appear showing a successful import
2. Transactions will appear in your Raffle Reports tab
3. Ticket purchasers will receive automatic email confirmations
4. All processed tickets are included in the draw (unless later canceled)
