Online, or cash after Mass — both.
Live in the hall or quietly Sunday. Eight reveal styles for the big screen — watch them.
Audit log + winner & entry CSV. Done.
Every draw records the seed, timestamp, and who initiated it. Hand the audit log to the deacons. Hand it to the diocese. For draws run with fairness verification, anyone can use the public verification page to confirm the winning entry matches a secret whose fingerprint was published before the draw, so no one has to take Brother Joe's word for it.
Half your congregation is over 70 and pays cash after Mass. The office logs the cash entry; Miss Bernice's name is in the system right next to the online buyers.
NJ Games of Chance, NY Bingo & Raffle, PA Small Games all ask for post-event data. We ship a downloadable CSV of your entries, draws, and winners; pull what you need for the finance council or your state filing.
Most states require your parish or church to register annually as a raffle sponsor, file a permit before each event, and submit a financial report after. We don't file your permit for you, but we ship a downloadable CSV of your entries, draws, and winners to help you complete it. Alabama, Hawaii, and Utah prohibit paid-entry raffles entirely, and other states restrict or prohibit them too. Check your state's rules.
A roll of 2,000 paper double-tickets at the office-supply store runs about $30. SimplyRaffle Basic is $9 per event, or a Basic Annual at $99/year covering 13 of them — about $7.60 a raffle. For the parish dinner, the Lent appeal, or the November fall festival, the platform costs less than the tickets you'd otherwise be buying. And nobody has to count cardboard stubs at the kitchen table at 9pm.
No per-ticket fees. Defendable to the finance council.
