There are several different types of raffles but out of all the raffles out there, they will always fall into one of the three categories in regards to reporting the raffle:
Single Raffle
Multi-Raffle
Calendar Raffle.
If raffles are new to your operation, we strongly recommend learning more from MN GCB about how to properly conduct your raffle. Please click on this link to get to the GCB's information on raffles: https://mn.gov/gcb/games/raffles.jsp
SINGLE RAFFLE: This is this most common type of raffle where you are having a one day event on which the raffle drawing will occur. Raffle tickets are sold, the drawing takes place, the prize is awarded, and the activity is documented resulting the complete reporting of the raffle activity all in the same month.
MULTI-RAFFLE: This raffle has a sum of tickets that are divided into several raffles that will be held over time. Each raffle has a set amount of tickets allocated for that raffle session. There may be multiple raffle sessions where a winner is drawn for each session.
Multi-Raffles: (commonly used with Meat Raffles as an alternative to paddle tickets) where a series of tickets are purchased/printed that may span many weeks and/or months. These tickets are the same quantity for each individual raffle (for example 30 tickets per raffle with 100 total raffles = 3000 total tickets). You can choose how many raffles you desire on a session-by-session basis. CG Made Easy tracks the raffle ticket inventory as part of the process.
CALENDAR RAFFLE: A calendar raffle is similar to a single raffle in that you report the entire raffle on the first month and then continuously award prizes throughout the year.
