How to Pick a Raffle Winner Fairly (Without Anyone Doubting It)

A raffle raises money and goodwill — but a single questionable draw can undo both. Fairness is easy if you follow a visible process.

The four rules of a trusted raffle

1. Sell numbered tickets and keep a log, so every entry is accounted for.
2. Announce the draw time and method before selling a single ticket.
3. Draw in front of witnesses (or on camera) using a random picker.
4. Publish the winning number immediately and keep the stub.

Why use a digital picker?

Pulling a ticket from a drum is charming but easy to rig, accidentally or not. A random number picker that selects from your sold ticket range is auditable and instant — and the audience can watch it happen.

Our Raffle Ticket Picker selects uniformly from any ticket range, so the result is as fair as a perfectly mixed drum, every time.
