What is a Reverse Raffle? |
|
Just what it sounds like! In a traditional raffle, the first ticket pulled wins the prize. In a reverse raffle, the LAST ticket pulled wins the prize. The Brown & Gold Club Reverse Raffle sells 200 tickets, and all 200 tickets are pulled until we get to the last, winning ticket. When there are only five remaining tickets, the Reverse Raffle Committee presents the representatives the opportunity to either split the pot or to choose to continue drawing tickets until there is only one grand prize winner. Those possessing a 'raffle-only' ticket (non-attendee) are contacted via phone while those in attendance are called to the stage to decide. |
