Christmas raffle tickets
Numbered tickets with tear-off stubs, dressed for December — pine sprigs and winterberries in red and green, or any of eleven other styles if the party isn't a red-and-green party. Pre-set for a Christmas drawing; every word on the ticket is yours to change.
The stub keeps the same number as the ticket. Buyer-info lines satisfy the states that require name, address and phone on the retained half.
100 tickets · Nº 001 through 100 · = 10 sheets of 10
Prints edge-to-edge on Avery 16154 tear-away stock (and 16795, 76154, 95288, 99154) — no cutting. Proof one page on plain paper first, hold it against the stock, and use “Flip stub end” or the nudge arrows if your printer lands a hair off. Print at 100% / Actual Size — never “Fit to page.”
10 vertical tickets per letter sheet — the Avery 16154 grid, edge to edge. Preview fonts are approximate — the PDF embeds the real ones.
A ticket that looks like December
The Holiday style opens by default: a pine-sprig frame with clustered winterberries, green ink with a red accent, and the number plate framed for drawing night. It is deliberately line art rather than clip art — it prints crisply on a home printer, photocopies cleanly for the second batch you will inevitably need, and still reads as festive with the colors swapped to a single ink. Golden Ticket suits a grand-prize draw, and Rustic — rope border, knotted corners — is the closest thing here to the red-truck, kraft-paper Christmas that half of Pinterest runs on.
DIY in the honest sense: type the event, pick the colors, print at home tonight. Tear-away Avery 16154 stock if you want perforated stubs without scissors, or plain paper with cut lines when the church office printer is what you have.
The gift-basket raffle
The classic Christmas fundraiser puts several donated baskets on a table and lets people choose which drawing to enter. Give each basket its own prefixed batch — B1- for the spa basket, B2- for the toy basket — and a cup beside each one. Same drum-proof numbering, separate drawings, and the prefixes mean the treasurer can count per-basket sales from the stubs alone.
Bazaar tip:print each basket's batch in a different accent color as well as a different prefix. Buyers sort themselves — nobody drops a red ticket in the green basket's cup.
Twelve days of drawings
The 12 Days of Christmas raffle sells one ticket that stays live for twelve daily draws — a small prize each day, drawn stubs returned to the drum, so the ticket someone bought on December 1 can still win on December 12. It raises more per ticket than a one-night draw precisely because it keeps paying attention back. Set the drawing dates to the range, note the return-to-drum rule on the extra line, and if your version gives each day its own entries, print twelve prefixed batches instead — D01- through D12-.
Questions
At an office party raffle, do plus-ones get a ticket?
House rule, but the common answer is yes — a door-prize raffle works best when everyone in the room holds a number, employee or guest. If the prizes came out of the office budget and HR wants them to land on staff, run two colors instead: one batch for employees, a second prefixed batch (G-001 and up) for guests, drawn for a separate prize. Nobody stands empty-handed while the drum goes around.
What do you call a Christmas raffle on the ticket?
Whatever you will actually say out loud when you announce it. "Christmas Raffle" is the safe default; "Holiday Raffle" travels better in a mixed workplace; church bazaars often go with the warmer "Christmas Drawing." Put the name in the headline field and the event underneath — St. Mark's Christmas Bazaar, Smith & Co. Holiday Party — so the stub still identifies the event in January when someone finds it in a coat pocket.
How does a 12 Days of Christmas raffle work?
One ticket enters a drawing that repeats for twelve days — usually December 1 through 12, with a small prize drawn daily and the drawn stubs going back in the drum so every ticket stays live all twelve days. Print one batch, put the drawing dates in the date field, and note "stubs return to the drum after each draw" on the extra line. If each day should have its own entries instead, print twelve small prefixed batches: D01-, D02-, and so on.
Is a Christmas raffle at work or church legal?
A free door-prize drawing at a private party — nobody pays for a chance — is fine everywhere. The moment tickets are sold, most US states treat it as charitable gaming, and church bazaars usually qualify but often need to register first. The full note on permits and what belongs on a compliant ticket face is on the main raffle page; when in doubt, one call to your state's charitable-gaming office settles it.
Will the tickets print without a color printer?
Yes — every style here is drawn to survive one-color printing. Set both ink and accent to the same dark color and the holly-and-berry frame prints as clean line art on white or colored paper. A box of red card stock and a black-and-white laser printer makes a sharper ticket than most color inkjets.
