Sorry - typo. I don't want anything anyone else could go out and buy on the shelf or photocopy. We. have about 70 prize packages and 80 or so general raffle prizes. This would be tickets for one event, but if volume prizing is substantial we would buy 20,000 or so tickets. We do not want to do any printing ourselves.
We have done raffle at our school for 27 years or so. I am tried of the roll tickets you can buy at any novelty shop. The gal who is actually our ticket chair has to unroll the tickets and has a roller stamp where she marks the back of the tickets in light color ink so that we know they are tickets purchased from our school. Then she has to count them out for all the preorders. - I think that is a pain when we sell 10,000 tickets. Also we'd have problems with the roll tickets being hard to read the info on back that people put on them.
That's a pretty large volume of tickets (10,000). How do you plan to use them? Is it for a single raffle or is it just a stockpile you want to have on hand for various events?
If it's for a "real" raffle for a major prize, you probably need to be following your state's gaming rules. That usually requires a stub with the purchaser's info, unique sequention numbers, full disclosure as to process/winner. Many of our organizations skirt those rules with the smaller stuff, the "drawings" we have, but you need to do it "right" if it's a big prize.
On the other hand, you say you want something you can replicate. Unless you buy special paper, that means cutting. If you are prepared to do that (and you don't need a stub) why not just create your master in Word and make your own?
We used a business card template (10 per page) and had a line for Name, teacher, phone. (Or just name and phone) and made tickets for our various drawings as we needed them. We sometimes color coded buy using different colored paper. For instance, we'd have a kids-only drawing using yellow tickets for "Lunch with the principal". Those cost 50 centers per chance. Whereas the other items in the bag raffles were all white tickets that cost $1.
I am looking into buying something other than the standard 2000 count of the roll tickets for raffle that anyone can buy over the count. I was looking at strip tickets and sheet tickets but am not finding much out there. WEedon't need or want a tear off claim ticket as we require that everyone write their name & phone number on the ticket they drop into the raffle boxes. We need around 10,000 raffle tickets and want to spend less than a $100. We want something people can replicate i.e. photocopy. Any one have any websites to check out or any suggestions? We are looking into a print shop donating, but local print shops are $200 -300 minimum from what we have checked out. We like the sheet tickets cause they are easy to count and deliver.
