Door Prize - Free Ticket
This feature would have a QR code next to an item and allow someone to scan and enter their name for selection.

For in-person events I would like to see an option similar to auctions. The participant scans the QR code next to an item (bucket raffle prize) and select the number of tickets. At the end of scanning they purchase the number of tickets they used. Tickets may all be the same amount or vary by item.

Yes, we'd love to be able to sell raffle tickets for particular prizes - like the auction, but with tickets. May have to use Zeffy to do this, but would prefer to stick with Give Butter

At least number the raffle tickets so each ticket type has a specific range of numbers. That would make selecting the winner easier.

We would like to be able to sell raffle tickets within the platform but unfortunately cannot publicly sell tickets online in Washington State (it is considered to be online gambling). If there is a way for admins to manually add 'Buy Now' bids to a private auction item that could be a workaround.

I would like to be able to run a raffle end to end, but we would need to be able to print tickets for the drawing; not sure about other states, but in Ohio you must physically draw the winner.

This may sound nit-picky, but it's important to understand the difference between PRNG (pseudo random number generator) and TRNG (true random number generator) when running a raffle. Online raffle platforms are not truly random. The outcome is determined by an algorithm and thus are theoretically predictable. These platforms can be coded extremely well to mitigate the chance of determining the outcome. They have to follow strict guidelines to offer these platforms. You will notice they will not refer to their platform as random. TRNG are unpredictable and dependent on outside variables. This is why raffles such as the lottery are "drawn out of a basket" and televised so that it is verifiable that it was random. Anyway, this is just a precaution to not label an online raffle as random.

Add the ability for a raffle winner to be randomly selected and then displayed on the Live Display while at an event.

Utilizing another platform with a PRNG or a TRNG complicates the process and adds another layer where glitches can occur when integrating it into a Givebutter event. It would be awesome if Givebutter created their own raffle platform.

We are running a "prize giveaway" and it would be great to have the ability to add this into one page with our Silent Auction. People are getting confused about clicking between the Event and Auction Page to buy tix vs. auction items.
