Raffles

A Raffle is  a lottery scheme where a prize(s) is awarded or given away by
selling a chance of winning to a number of persons for a fraction of the value of the prize(s). Winners are chosen by random selection described in the licence application.

The most common types of raffle the MGCC will license are:

Regular Raffle – is where a predetermined number of tickets are printed and sold and winner(s) are determined by pulling a ticket stub from the pool of all tickets sold.

Players’ Choice Raffle – (aka Rainbow Auction)  is where players choose which draw they wish to participate in from a display of prizes (or prize packages) and place their tickets in the respective draw bag/bin/box/pail.

Percentage Payout Raffle – (e.g. 50/50) is where a number of tickets are sold and a predetermined percentage of sales is identified as the prize(s) being offered.

Calendar Raffle:  is where a predetermined number of tickets are printed and sold (usually on the back page of an actual calendar) and each ticket has a chance to win any number of times during a specified series of draws (daily, weekly, monthly). Calendar raffles can be for a portion of a year or for an entire year.

Sport/Event Raffle:  (e.g. Grey cup, Super Bowl tickets) is where tickets are produced with scores marked on each portion of the ticket. The winner(s) are determined by matching the score in the game with the score on the ticket.  Tickets are printed in a series containing all possible scores.
