We are kicking around the idea of doing a raffle for a association.. A few of us were thinking about a 65qt Yettie cooler and wondered what people thought about that...Its a $400.00 cooler.
Tickets would probably be 1 for $5 or 5 for $20

we thought about what price to sell them at ..I think 1 for $5 or 5 for $20 is a real good deal on a cooler like that

We just did this for our club this past weekend. We used a 45qt Yeti and sold tickets $2 each, 6 for $10, or 13 for $20. We pre-sold them over a course of a month and a half. On Saturday we had a booth setup at an annual arts and crafts festival that is local to us, sold some more there, and then raffled it off Saturday afternoon. We made more off this cooler than a $250 gift card raffle and a 2 gun raffle we held the past two year combined.

I have done a good number of gun raffles for various fund raisers, and if you are trying to cater to a hunting community, they are a pretty easy sell. What I do is pay for two guns from the local shop, I try to keep the price between $1,200 and $1,000. I make 150 books of tickets, each book containing 6 tickets, the tickets are $5 a piece or $25 for a whole book. At the drawing, the first name picked gets their choice of gun, and the next name gets the other gun. If you sell every book as a whole, your profit will be between $2,750 and $2,550, either way it is a pretty good money maker and the odds for a book are 1:75, which isn't bad for a gun raffle.

As far as legality of it, you need to have a local gun shop willing to work with you. Get a receipt after you pay for it, but make the winners go in and pick it up to do the transfer paperwork. Another thing I put on all of the tickets is a little disclaimer stating, "Such and Such Assoc. reserves the right to substitute firearm for cash value," just in case the winning individual has had their rights revoked.

Here's just an idea of what I do.

Our club does dog food raffles a dollar a chance or six for five what u do with the money is your choice. We save all the years worth of ticket sales and have a hunt for it. But u could always split the total with the club and the winner
