See the pot, the winner's payout, and what your organization keeps from a 50/50 raffle — and how many tickets you'd need to sell to hit your goal.
| Total pot (ticket sales) | $1,000 |
| Winner's 50% payout | $500 |
| Your 50% take | $500 |
In a 50/50 raffle the winner takes half the pot and your organization keeps the rest. Sell tickets, draw a winner, and pay out — all tracked in VenueFuze.
Everyone buys tickets into a single pot. At the draw, one winning ticket is picked: the winner takes half the pot and your organization keeps the other half. The more tickets sold, the bigger both halves.
Because your org keeps half of every ticket, divide your net goal by half the ticket price. This calculator does it for you — enter a goal and it shows the tickets to sell.
Raffle rules vary by state and locality — many require a nonprofit registration or license, and some restrict online sales. Check your local gaming/charitable-raffle regulations before you run one.
Yes — sell numbered raffle entries (single tickets or bundles), draw a winner, and record the payout, alongside your tickets, auction, and donations in one platform paid to your own processor.
