Official rules

DRAFT. Have your attorney replace this page before launch. Charity raffles are regulated state by state (in Florida, see Fla. Stat. § 849.0935), and usually require a qualified 501(c)(3) sponsor, specific disclosures, and sometimes registration.

Sponsor

[Legal name of sponsoring organization, address, EIN]

How it works

Each round has a fixed set of numbers from 1 to the maximum set by the sponsor. When you press Donate & spin, the wheel randomly selects one of the numbers still open, and your donation is that number in dollars, charged once, directly by [charity legal name]. Each number can be held by only one donor. If your payment doesn't go through, nothing is charged and the number goes back on the wheel.

When every number is taken, a second random draw selects one number from 1 to the maximum. The holder of that number wins the prize.

Charity

Donations are paid directly to [charity legal name, EIN]. [Any platform fee disclosure.] Because each donation includes a chance to win a prize, it is generally not tax-deductible as a charitable contribution. [Confirm with your tax advisor.]

Eligibility

[Age, residency, void-where-prohibited language, employee exclusions]

Prize

[Description, approximate retail value, taxes, delivery, substitution]

Odds

Odds of winning equal the number of entries you hold divided by the total numbers in the round.
