Chinese Raffle Tickets

Are you combining the concepts of both a raffle and an auction to hold a Chinese Raffle? If this is an upcoming feature at your charity event, church festival, or another exciting event, then look no further for just the right tickets. Our tickets also have a door prize stub which allows another raffle for which only one ticket per sheet may be submitted giving everyone equal opportunity to win. The basic concept has two parts: the "auction" phase and the "raffle" phase. During the auction phase, bidders purchase as many tickets as they would like and place them in designated containers in front of the auction items as a "bid" or chance to win. At the conclusion of all bidding, a raffle is held where a winning ticket is drawn for each item. Participants may increase their chance of winning by bidding more tickets on one specific item. The origins of this kind of auction might come from China or might come from the idea of a "chance auction" and there’s something mysterious, intriguing, secretive, and lucky about this kind of draw. These tickets are also perfect if you’re holding a similar raffle or auction by a different name as this kind of draw is often also called by names like penny social, tricky tray, or pick-a-prize.
