Instead of saying we are holding a raffle or drawing you could word it to say something like "we are offering you the chance to win several different prizes/baskets, etc. by purchasing a ticket....." when you send out your newsletter or within your program. Hope this is what you were looking for and good luck!
For those of you that have done "raffles" before what have you called them other than raffles. I know it can't be called a raffle because of permit issues but i'm not real sure how to word it. Any ideas??
