How to make numbered raffle tickets
- Type the ticket details: the event, the date and place of the draw, the prizes and the price.
- Set the numbers: the first ticket number and how many tickets you need. Choose 001-style numbers if you want them all the same width.
- Pick the size (8, 10, 12 or 21 per page), the colour and what goes on the stub.
- Download and print at 100%, cut along the dashed outlines, and tear each stub along its line.
How many pages will I need?
| Tickets | 10 per page | 12 per page | 21 per page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 10 pages | 9 pages | 5 pages |
| 250 | 25 pages | 21 pages | 12 pages |
| 500 | 50 pages | 42 pages | 24 pages |
| 1,000 | 100 pages | 84 pages | 48 pages |
Running the draw
- Stubs in the drum: fold every sold stub the same way and put them in a box or tumbler; the buyer keeps the matching ticket.
- Name and phone on the stub let you contact winners who have left before the draw.
- Unsold tickets: keep them together so the numbers in the draw match the money collected.
- Several prizes: draw from the lowest prize up, or announce in advance which order you’ll use.
Tips for tickets that look professional
- Print on coloured card (120–160 g/m²) to make tickets feel real and harder to copy.
- Use a paper trimmer for straight cuts; the tickets are laid out on a grid with small gaps to make cutting easy.
- For several sellers, give each one a block of numbers (for example 001–100, 101–200) by changing the first number.
Raffle and lottery rules differ by country and region; some events need a licence or registration. Check what applies to you before selling tickets.
Frequently asked questions
Are the tickets numbered automatically?
Yes. Choose the first number and how many tickets you need (up to 2,000); each ticket and its stub get the same number, in order, across as many pages as needed.
What goes on the stub?
The ticket number, plus optional lines for the buyer’s name and phone number. You keep the stubs for the draw and the buyer keeps the ticket.
How many tickets fit on a page?
8 large, 10 standard, 12 or 21 small tickets per A4 or Letter page. 10 per page is the most common size for school and charity raffles.
What paper should I use?
Ordinary paper works; 120–160 g/m² card or coloured paper feels more like a real ticket and is harder to copy. Print at 100% and cut along the dashed outlines.
Do I need permission to run a raffle?
Rules depend on where you live: many places allow small raffles at events, while others need a licence or registration for public raffles. Check your local rules before selling tickets.
