How it works
Two legal modes, kept completely separate. Here is exactly what happens in each, before you enter and after the drawing.
Our frequent format. Entry is free and always will be for this mode.
Local businesses buy defined ad value. That money secures the prize and a fixed gift to the cause, held before anyone enters.
A short form. No payment. You get a confirmation immediately. There is no path where paying buys better odds.
If you want to give more, a link to the cause's own donation page appears after your entry. It never touches the drawing list.
Entries close at the published time. The eligible list is frozen. Nothing gets added later.
A recorded drawing selects the winner. We keep the rules version, entry count, and winning reference.
Winner status, drawing record, and the receipt to the cause go into the Trust Center, plus a 30-day impact follow-up.
Reserved for major prizes, run at most quarterly.
An established nonprofit holds the local license, the bank account, and the drawing authority. The prize is donated or fully underwritten first.
We say so plainly. A raffle ticket is not a charitable deduction. Checkout is owned by the nonprofit, not by us.
Income tax withholding, title, registration, and insurance are disclosed next to the ticket action, never buried.
The nonprofit's designated manager controls the final eligible ticket list.
The prize is awarded on the stated date whether or not every ticket sold.
Gross receipts, allowed expenses, reserve, and final net proceeds are published, with a later use-of-funds update.
