Microsoft Word raffle ticket template

If your team lives in Microsoft Office, Word is a practical choice for raffle ticket design — no new software to learn, and the mail-merge feature can auto-fill sequential ticket numbers across a large print run without manual renumbering. Word's table-based layouts also make it straightforward to size a two-part stub-and-keeper ticket to standard US-letter dimensions.

To get started, open the Google Docs template above and download a copy via File > Download > Microsoft Word (.docx) — this gives you a fully compatible starting point you can edit and print directly from Word.

‍

Numbered raffle ticket templates

Numbered tickets aren't a nice-to-have. Many states require sequential numbering on every raffle ticket sold so winners can be matched to a stub, and donors can verify they're holding a valid entry. Numbering also makes manual reconciliation possible at the end of the night.

‍

Simple numbered raffle ticket template for Google Docs

Our pre-numbered Google Docs template gives you a clean two-part ticket with matching numbers on the stub and the keeper half. You renumber the file once, duplicate the page, and print.

How to use this template:

• 1. Open the template and make a copy in your Google Drive.

• 2. Customize colors, text, and your organization name.

• 3. Update the number on each ticket sequentially.

• 4. Save as PDF for printing if you prefer fixed output.

• 5. Print on cardstock or perforated sheets.

Tip: Google Sheets can also auto-number a long ticket run using a simple =ROW() formula, which saves you renumbering by hand for printings of 200+ tickets.

‍

Blank raffle ticket templates

Blank templates are for the designer who already has a layout in mind and just wants a sized, print-ready canvas with no styling baked in. They're the most flexible option for matching a specific event brand or fitting an unusual paper stock.

A standard-size blank ticket (roughly 2" 5.5", three tickets to a US-letter page) covers most use cases. Half-page and quarter-page sizes are useful when you want a larger keeper portion or are printing on Avery perforated stock with a different cut.

For a blank canvas, use the PDF template above and strip the styling — it's the most flexible print-ready starting point.

‍

Themed raffle ticket templates

For a specific aesthetic — holiday, gala, casino night, school carnival — the Canva template above is the most flexible starting point: swap in a themed background, adjust the color palette, and update the fonts in a few clicks.

‍

How to customize your raffle tickets

Whichever template you start from, three customizations matter more than the rest:

• 1. Add your organization name. Replace the placeholder text with your legal nonprofit name. If your state requires it, include your raffle license or permit number on the same line.

• 2. Change colors and fonts to match your brand. In Canva and Adobe Express you can set brand colors once and apply them everywhere. In Google Docs and Word, update the heading style to push your color through the whole document.

• 3. Add ticket numbers. Either renumber each duplicate manually, or use Google Sheets with =ROW() to auto-number a print sheet and then place it into your design tool.

‍

Raffle ticket legal requirements by state

Raffle rules vary state by state, and the wrong ticket can void a draw or create a compliance problem. The following is a starting checklist, not legal advice — for your specific raffle, check your state's gaming or attorney general office, or consult an attorney.

Quick checklist — what should appear on a raffle ticket:

• Your organization's legal name

• Organization contact information

• Raffle date, time, and drawing location

• A unique, sequential ticket number

• Ticket price

• Prize information

• Age restrictions, where applicable

• Your raffle license or permit number

Examples of state-specific requirements:

• In Texas, raffle tickets have to list the date, time, and location of the drawing.

• In New York, tickets must include the price and a description of prizes.

• In Florida, a "no purchase necessary" disclosure must be included.

If you're running an online or hybrid raffle, auto-numbered e-tickets with unique QR codes handle the sequential numbering and stub-matching for you in software. A couple of jurisdiction notes: raffles cannot be sold online to ticket buyers in California (Penal Code 320.5), and Zeffy does not currently support raffles for Australian organizations. The draw itself must always happen outside the platform using a random selection method — software does not pick the winner for you.

Print your raffle tickets: paper and sizing guide

A template only gets you halfway. The paper, the cut, and the sizing are what make a stack of tickets feel like a real raffle instead of a printer accident.

Paper stock. Standard 20 lb office paper is fine for low-stakes events, but cardstock in the 65–110 lb range holds up to handling, stub-tearing, and a night in someone's pocket. For events with a higher ticket price, 80 lb cardstock is the most common pick — heavy enough to feel substantive, light enough to feed through most office printers.

Standard sizes. Most US raffle tickets are 2" 5.5" (three to a letter page) or 2" 7" (two to a page with a longer stub). UK and Canadian organizers often use A4 stock at slightly different cuts.

Perforated paper. Perforated sheets save the trimming and tearing step. Avery Design & Print works with Avery perforated stock (templates 16154 and 16109 are common raffle picks) and lets you import a CSV of ticket numbers to auto-fill stubs.

If the printing math — cardstock cost, perforation, manual numbering, the night-of stub reconciliation — starts to outweigh what the raffle will raise, you can also run a raffle online with $0 in fees for the digital portion and keep paper for in-person only.

‍

Skip the printing: run your raffle online with Zeffy

Printing has a cost. Cardstock, perforated paper, ink, a trip to the print shop, the hour spent renumbering, the half-hour reconciling stubs at the end of the night, and the I-lost-my-ticket conversation that always seems to happen with the winning number. For some events the print run is worth it. For most, an online raffle is faster and cheaper.

Zeffy is the free fundraising platform for nonprofits. Organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Thomas-Elgin raised $35,835 and saved $1,791 in fees running their raffle on Zeffy.

What you get when you run the raffle digitally:

• Automatic numbering. Each ticket has a unique number and a QR code, automatically emailed to the buyer. No renumbering, no stub-matching.

• No printing costs. No cardstock, no perforated paper, no print-shop run.

• Real-time tracking. See sales, contact information, and bundle uptake from one dashboard as the campaign runs.

• Hybrid sales for the in-person crowd. Sell at the door with Tap to Pay for in-person ticket sales straight from a phone, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay at checkout to cut last-minute friction.

No printing, no manual numbering, no chasing cash, no I-lost-my-ticket conversations. No transaction fees. No platform fees. No fees period.

A couple of jurisdiction caveats: online raffle ticket sales are not available to buyers in California (state Penal Code 320.5), and Zeffy does not support raffles for Australian organizations. The drawing itself is done outside the platform using a random generator of your choice.
