I have purchased many a raffle ticket and also been in charge of raffles and the number that seems to make people buy them are 6 tickets for $5.00. Or one ticket for $1.00. When we have done that people that can't afford a lot will buy what they can 1 or 2 tickets or some have paid $10.00 for 12 chances. AND the raffle is much better than an regular auction. My 2 cents worth.
