How a stub raffle works
The buyer writes their name and phone number on the stub; the seller tears it off and drops it in the drum; the buyer keeps the ticket with the same number. At the draw, the number on the drawn stub must match the winner's ticket — so number every pair the same.
Permits
A raffle run by a business to promote its products is a sales promotion and needs a DTI permit before tickets are sold (Consumer Act, RA 7394). A school, church, barangay or club fund-raising raffle should check with its city or municipal hall. Write the draw date and venue on every ticket, and announce the winners publicly.
Number every ticket
Numbers are what keep a ticket honest: they stop copies at the gate, let you count what was sold, and let you trace a missing booklet. Use four digits (0001) so they sort and read cleanly, and never print the same number twice.
What a ticket must show
Everything a buyer and a gate-keeper need, on the part the buyer keeps.
- The event's name and who is holding it.
- The date, time and venue.
- The price or donation, and the ticket number.
- On the stub: the same number, so stub and ticket can be matched.
Questions people ask
Does a raffle need a permit in the Philippines?
A business raffle used to promote sales needs a DTI sales promotion permit. Fund-raising raffles by schools, parishes and associations are generally handled by the LGU — ask your city or municipal hall before selling. This page does not give legal advice.
How do I number more than three tickets?
Type 0001, 0002 and 0003, download, then change them to 0004, 0005 and 0006 and download again. Keep a list of the numbers you printed and who sold them, so missing tickets can be traced.
What paper should I print on?
Card stock or thick paper (180–220 gsm) at 100% scale, then cut along the borders. Cut the stub off along its border at the gate (or tear it, if your print shop can perforate).
Is a ticket an official receipt?
No. A ticket is proof of entry or of a raffle entry, not a BIR official receipt or invoice. A business that sells tickets still records the sale on its BIR-registered invoices.
