Running a Fair Raffle
Follow these steps to ensure your raffle is transparent and credible.
Display the Wheel on a Screen
Project the wheel on a TV, monitor, or projector so everyone can see the drawing happen live. Transparency builds trust and excitement.
Add All Entries Before Starting
Load all raffle tickets or participant names before the first spin. This ensures everyone has an equal chance and prevents accusations of favoritism.
