Free Raffle Ticket Generator

Make printable raffle tickets in minutes

A raffle ticket does two jobs at once. It is the ticket the buyer keeps, and it is the counterfoil the organiser keeps to draw the winner and reach them. This free raffle ticket generator builds both halves in one design: a main body with the prize and the drawing details, and a tear-off counterfoil with blank lines for the buyer's name and phone, joined by a dashed perforation line. You pick a template, type your raffle details, choose a size, and download a print-ready file. There is no signup and no watermark.

Most "raffle ticket template" results are static files you open in Word or a design app and fight with. This is a real generator. The live preview updates as you type, the perforation and cut guides are drawn for you, and the export is sized so a printed ticket comes out at its true finished size. When the draw comes, you can even pick the winning number right here, fairly and at random.

What goes on a raffle ticket

A good raffle ticket sells the prize at a glance and tells the buyer when and where the draw happens. The tool gives you a field for each part, and every template shows only the fields that style needs, so nothing on the form is dead.

• Prize. What you can win. This is the biggest, most important line on the ticket. Make it specific, like "Win a $500 Visa Gift Card" or "Grand Prize: A Weekend for Two".
• Organising group or cause. The club, church, school, or charity running the raffle, and who the money helps.
• Raffle title. A short name for the draw, like "Spring Fundraiser Raffle" or "50/50 Cash Raffle".
• Drawing date and time. When the winner is picked. Buyers want to know this before they pay.
• Where drawn or contact. Where the draw happens, or how to buy more tickets.
• Price and multi-buy. The per-ticket price and a bulk deal, like "$5 each" and "5 for $20". Both show on one price line.
• Need not be present to win. The classic reassurance that buyers can win even if they leave early. Edit or clear it to match your rules.
• License or permit number. An optional line for a raffle license or gaming permit, where your area requires one.
• Serial number. The unique ticket number, printed on both the body and the counterfoil.

You do not have to fill every field. Any field you leave empty is hidden from the ticket, so a stripped-down minimal ticket and a full charity ticket both come out clean.

The fill-in counterfoil is the raffle mechanic

The counterfoil, also called the stub, is what makes a raffle ticket different from a flyer or an event ticket. On an event ticket the stub just repeats the serial. On a raffle ticket it is a fill-in slip. It carries the same serial number as the body, plus blank ruled lines for the buyer to write their Name and Phone, with an optional Email line you can switch on.

Here is how it works in practice. The buyer fills in their details on the counterfoil, tears it off along the perforation, and drops it in the box. They keep the body of the ticket as their proof. At the draw, you pull a counterfoil or pick a number, read the serial, and the matching stub tells you who won and how to reach them. Because the body and the counterfoil read one shared serial number, they can never disagree. Number A-0042 on a ticket always matches counterfoil A-0042.

You control the counterfoil. Turn it on or off with a switch. Add or remove the email line. Move it to either end of the ticket. On a landscape ticket the counterfoil sits on the left or the right; on a portrait ticket it sits on the top or the bottom, and the control relabels itself to match what you see. The perforation line and its notches are drawn as part of the image, so they survive the export and print on the real ticket.

Sequential numbering for a whole run

A single ticket is fine for a mockup, but a real raffle needs a numbered run. Switch to the Numbered sheet tab, set a start value and a count, and the tool builds the full sequence.

The start value is smart about prefixes. Type a plain number like 100 and you get 100, 101, 102, and so on. Type A-0001 and the tool keeps the A- prefix and the four-digit zero padding, so you get A-0001, A-0002, A-0003, up through the count you set. This is how raffle books are numbered, and it means you can sell tickets in order and match a returned counterfoil to its record. You can number a run of up to five hundred in one export.

Every ticket on the sheet is the same design with its own number, printed on both the body and the counterfoil.

Draw the winner right here

When the draw comes, you have two fair ways to pick a winner. The classic way is to pull the paper counterfoils from a box. The tool also has a built-in Draw a winner panel on the Numbered sheet tab.

Set your start number and count, then click Draw a winner. The tool picks a uniformly random number from your range using your browser's secure crypto random generator, not a simple shuffle. Each drawn number is removed from the pool, so if you draw again for a second or third prize, it never repeats a winner. The full draw order is listed so you can read out first, second, and third place. Everything runs in your browser; no numbers are sent anywhere. This folds the "raffle number picker" job into the same page you made the tickets on.

Real print-shop sizes

Ticket stock is a real physical size, so the presets here match what print shops actually cut. The finished sizes are drawn from vendor product pages at UPrinting and GotPrint.

The single-ticket PDF is sized to the exact finished inches, where 1 inch equals 72 points. A 2 by 5.5 inch ticket exports a 2 by 5.5 inch PDF page. Print at 100 percent scale with no fit-to-page and the ticket comes out at its true size, ready to trim.

The numbered sheet closes to the page

When you print a run, you want a full sheet of tickets you can cut apart, not one ticket per page. The Numbered sheet tab tiles your tickets edge-to-edge on a US Letter or A4 page and centers the grid, so the layout closes to the paper by construction and never spills off the edge. If you pick a custom size too big to fit even once, the tool warns you instead of clipping.

Dashed cut guides are drawn on the sheet as part of the image, so they survive the export. Run a paper cutter or scissors along the guides to separate the tickets, and each ticket already shows its own perforation line for the counterfoil. A multi-page run exports as a ZIP of PNGs or a single multi-page PDF.

Eight raffle templates

One page serves a whole family of raffle searches because the gallery has eight styles, and each one fills the fields that style needs.

• Fundraiser. A cause-forward layout with a big prize line and a beneficiary lockup, for a charity draw.
• Church or School. A community tone with a contact-to-buy line and a "need not be present to win" note.
• Sports 50/50. A bold, jersey-accent card built for a 50/50 cash raffle with a clear price line.
• Holiday. A festive palette with a decorative border, for a holiday hamper or gift raffle.
• 50/50 Cash. A layout that leads with the split-pot mechanic and a large per-ticket price.
• Gala. An elegant serif with gold rules, for a black-tie grand-prize raffle.
• Kids or Classroom. A playful, rounded card with a lighter font, for a classroom toy raffle.
• Minimal. A neutral, logo-led layout that shows every field, as a clean starting point.

Each template comes with a signature color theme and font, and every one renders both a body and a matching fill-in counterfoil. Click Fill example to load realistic sample data for the selected style, or Reset to clear back to a blank ticket.

Add your logo, colors, and a QR code

Upload your organisation's logo and it shows in the live preview and in every export, above the details, with a remove button that restores the default lockup. The logo stays in your browser; it is never uploaded to a server.

Every template has a look you can change. Switch between the built-in color themes, set a custom accent and text color, and pick from a large font list. Your choices apply to the live preview and to every export, single or bulk.

Some templates include a QR field. When you enter a rules or buy-tickets URL, the tool renders a real QR code that decodes to exactly that link and bakes it into the PNG, PDF, and SVG export. This is a working code, not a decorative pattern, so a buyer can scan the printed ticket to open your rules page or an online buy link.

A note on raffle rules and licensing

A raffle is a form of lottery, and lotteries are regulated. The rules are not the same everywhere. Some states, provinces, and countries require a license or permit to run a paid raffle, especially for nonprofits, and some set limits on prize values, ticket prices, or who can sell. There can be reporting or record-keeping duties too.

This tool gives you an optional license or permit number field so you can print the number when you have one. It is a design tool, not legal advice. Before you sell tickets, check the rules for your state or country, and talk to your organisation's board or a local authority if you are not sure. Keeping your counterfoils on file is good practice either way, since they are your record of who bought which number.

Tips for a clean raffle

• Print a single test ticket first and measure it with a ruler to confirm your printer is at 100 percent scale.
• Use a slightly heavier cardstock, around 200 to 250 gsm, so the counterfoil tears cleanly along the perforation.
• Keep the fine print short. Long paragraphs shrink the rest of the ticket to fit.
• Number your run in the Numbered sheet tab rather than editing the number by hand, so the body and counterfoil always match.
• Collect the counterfoils in a sealed box, and use the Draw a winner panel or a physical draw so the pick is fair and public.

Frequently asked questions

Is this raffle ticket generator free?

Yes, it is 100% free with no signup and no watermark. Design and download as many raffle tickets as you want as PNG, PDF, or SVG files, one at a time or as a numbered printable sheet.

How does the ticket numbering work?

You set a start value and a count, and the tool builds the sequence. A plain number like 100 gives 100, 101, 102, and so on. A value like A-0001 keeps the A- prefix and the zero padding, so you get A-0001, A-0002, A-0003. The same number prints on the ticket body and on its tear-off counterfoil, so a returned stub always matches its ticket. You can number a run of up to 500 in one export.

What is the fill-in counterfoil stub?

The counterfoil, also called the stub, is the section separated by a dashed perforation line. On a raffle ticket it is a fill-in slip: it has blank ruled lines for the buyer's Name and Phone (and an optional Email line) plus the same serial number as the body. The organiser keeps the counterfoils, and when a number is drawn they find the matching stub to see who won and how to reach them.

Can I draw the winner with this tool?

Yes. On the Numbered sheet tab there is a Draw a winner panel that picks a uniformly random number from your start-to-count range using your browser's secure crypto random generator. Each drawn number is removed from the pool, so drawing again never repeats a winner. It is fully client-side. You can also draw the classic way by pulling the paper counterfoils from a box.

What paper should I print raffle tickets on?

Use a heavier cardstock, around 200 to 250 gsm (about 75 to 90 lb cover), so the ticket feels sturdy and the stub tears cleanly along the perforation. Print at 100% scale with no fit-to-page. A print shop can also add a real perforation line along the counterfoil seam if you want a clean tear.

Do I need a license or permit to run a raffle?

It depends on where you are. Raffles are a form of lottery or gaming, and the rules vary a lot by state, province, and country. Some places require a license or permit for a paid raffle, especially for nonprofits, and some limit prize values or ticket sales. This tool includes an optional license or permit number field, but it is not legal advice. Check your local rules before you sell tickets.

Which raffle ticket styles can I make?

The gallery has eight templates: Fundraiser, Church or School, Sports 50/50, Holiday, 50/50 Cash, Gala, Kids or Classroom, and a Minimal layout. Each fills the fields that style needs, from a beneficiary lockup for a charity draw to a split-pot line for a 50/50, and every one renders both a body and a matching fill-in counterfoil.

Can I add my own logo, colors, and a QR code?

Yes. Upload a logo and it shows in the live preview and in every export, with a remove button to restore the default. You can switch color themes, set a custom accent and text color, and choose from a large font list. On the templates with a QR field you enter a rules or buy-tickets URL, and the tool bakes in a real scannable QR code that decodes to exactly that link.
