As mentioned in the daily thread, I’m organising a big raffle that’s taking place in a couple of weeks’ time and I thought it would be fun to share some raffle related experiences, good and bad. I have a feeling this is something that the DiS community might have strong opinions and plenty of anecdotes about.
One of my favourite raffle memories will always be the FIX raffle at one of the Zoninos, even if the memory itself is somewhat blurred (as it was, after all, a Zonino).
What is your best or worst raffle related memories? Are you an experienced raffle organiser and have some wisdom to share? Either way, this is the thread for you.
In one of my old jobs, they ran a daily raffle for everyone who turned up in the week before Christmas. Prizes included TVs, consoles, £100s of shopping vouchers etc.
Was absolutely stoked to have my name pulled out on Christmas Eve and then INCENSED to be presented with a novelty bubble bath in the shape of a Dalek.
Fuck Dr Who and fuck turning up at work before Christmas.
A promoter near here books a lot of venues that don’t actually have booze licences, so they put on raffles instead. £3 for a ticket from the cans book, £3.50 from the wine book. Odds of winning are excellent.
