Configuring a 50/50 Raffle

Looking to host a 50/50 Raffle to fundraise for your nonprofit?

Setting up a 50/50 raffle is just like creating a regular raffle! The only difference is adding a sales target so that a thermometer of the funds raised shows on your raffle form. This feature allows donors to see exactly how much they can win, creating excitement and encouraging participation.

To get a step by step processing of setting up a raffle on Zeffy, please view how to set up and customize a raffle.

Once your raffle form is set up, here's how you can add a sales target:

  • Go to your "Advanced settings" in the top bar of your form editor.
  • Select "Add a sales target" and enter your target amount.

  • 💡 You can always increase or edit your sales target!
  • Hit "Save" and start sharing your raffle form! 

Once your form configuration has been finalized and you're ready for it to be publicized, you'll be able to share it with your community. To learn how to share your form, consult the instructions here: Sharing your Zeffy form.

Drawing a winner:

Due to the raffle rules issued by the Gaming Authorities of each province or state, Zeffy doesn't have an automatic winner drawing tool. You can use the platform to sell tickets, but the draw needs to be done outside of the platform.

You can find a detailed guide on how to draw a winner here: Drawing a winner for your raffle.

💡 Once you have determined your raffle winner, you can coordinate their prize and arrange the payment of 50% of the funds raised outside of Zeffy.
