Draw from the card halves you keep and the winner is the person with the matching half. Card price dictated by the prize value)
Pick of the Litter (Sell tickets for the winner's choice of 1 item on an auction table. Sell a large enough raffle tickets to cover the cost of your largest item they have to choose from. The winners selects their item before the auction starts and that item is no longer on the auction. Some items of excessive value may be excluded in advance if you do not think enough revenue will be generated from ticket sales to match what it would have sold for in the auction)
50/50 Drawing (Total money generated is split 50/50 with the winner)
Tier Raffle (3 tables are set up. Each of the three tables has progressively larger value items. The table with the lowest value items should have more items and more tickets for chances to win. The medium and more expensive tables have fewer items and fewer chances to win reducing respectively. Sell a package of tickets which includes tickets for all three Tier Tables.
