Chief Delphi has been doing a raffle for the past 4 years. We raise in profit between $6000.00 and $10,000.00 depending on team size and activities. Here are a few points:

In Michigan I apply for a raffle license with the State Lottery Commission. This costs $50.00 for their approval. You are then bonded and held accountable to many rules.

Each team member is REQUIRED to sell 60 tickets at $5.00 each.

So for a team of 30 students you have 1800 tickets x $5.00. Thats $9600.00 minus License, minus cost of ticket printing, minus 3 prizes.

I get a Laptop Computer, a TV set, A DVD player cost $1600.00.

All the rest is pure profit. The more tickets you sell, the more profit for the team.

I like this fundraiser because it is time effective and has a high yield with a guarantee because each student is REQUIREd to sell or purchase the tickets.
