How to Create Raffle Ticket Bundles
Adding a bundled discount to your raffle ticket(s) is a great way to encourage your guests to buy more chances to win a raffle item at your event! To add a bundled ticket option to your raffle ticket, first follow these steps to add a raffle ticket to your event. If you are looking for creative raffle ideas- check out our blog here!
1. Once you have started to create your raffle item, you will see the section, "Bundled Raffle Options," shown below:
2. From here, you can add a 3 ticket bundle price, a 5 ticket bundle price, or both. After doing so, enter the price you would like to set for the available bundles.
3. If you already added raffle items and want to add bundle options to these pre-existing items, you can do so by navigating to the 'Items' tab on the manager portal and selecting the edit icon on the raffle item you would like to add bundle options to.

Selling a Raffle Ticket at Your Event
Attendees are unable to add a raffle ticket to their cart from your event site. They will instead, be required to purchase this ticket at the time of adding it to their cart. That being said, you are able to add a raffle ticket to an attendees cart from the manager portal, using your discretion. A raffle ticket that is placed in an attendees cart but not paid for, will not be included in the electronic drawing.
- Fromm the 'Items' tab, locate the raffle item. On the raffle item, click the ellipsis button and then select "Buy Ticket."
- Enter the purchaser's phone number, email address, or paddle number to search for their account. (If you enter by phone number, the account will autofill. If you enter by email address, you will need to click the magnifying glass to search for the account, circled in red below.)
- Enter the credit card information or confirm the card on file to pay via credit card. If the attendee is paying with cash or check, toggle from "Card" to "Offline." Use the text field to the left of the toggle to make notes for your Payout Report. Enter the quantity of tickets being purchase in the green box.
- Click "Buy Raffle." If you are purchasing with a card, you will be prompted to buy "Now" or buy "Later." Click "Now" to complete the purchase. Or, click "Later" to add to the attendees cart.
5. When you are ready to draw a winner at the end of the night, click the blue "Draw" button. If you keep the "Notify Winner?" toggle turned on, this person will receive a text notification. You can draw as many winners as you'd like by clicking the "Draw" button. Learn more about this below.
How to Draw a Raffle Winner
When you are ready to close out your raffle item, locate your raffle within the Items tab by searching for it in the search bar or clicking to filter and view only raffle items.
When you are ready to draw a winner, you should click on the blue draw button and you will be prompted to confirm that you are ready to choose a winner.
From here, you'll be asked whether you'd like to notify a winner via text message or not.
After you make a selection, the winner will be drawn. The winner's name will be displayed in the bottom right of the item card.
If you want to select multiple raffle winners, you can click the draw button as many times as you would like winners. Additionally, all your raffle purchasers are available to view in one list under the 'Items' tab. The system will randomly draw a winner from this list when you click the Draw button on the raffle item.
How to View Raffle Ticket Purchases
When you are logged into manager.event.gives, click on the items tab and find your raffle item:
Click where it says "399 tickets sold."
A new window will open that will show you all of your raffle purchases. You can use the search bar to find someone if you have too many tickets to scroll through.
This screen will display anyone who has won a ticket at the top. You can also refund raffle purchases here by clicking the "Refund" button.
