Free planning resource
The prize table checklist.
For raffles, Chinese auctions, tricky trays, and silent-auction prize tables. Work top to bottom — the order matters. Prizes get sourced before pricing is set, because what you are able to secure decides what a ticket is worth.
Six sections, two pages:
- Source the prizes — start 8–10 weeks out
- Price the tickets — with a worked example
- Lay out the table — physical setup
- Run of show — minute by minute
- Before you sell a single ticket — licensing
- After the last prize is claimed
Blanks are meant to be filled in by hand at the planning table. It is a planning tool, not legal advice — raffle law is state by state and sometimes county by county.

Many states require a licence or permit to run a raffle, and some restrict selling tickets online or across state lines. The checklist puts that step before ticket sales rather than after, because it is the one that can stop an event outright. Confirm with your state’s charitable gaming office and your own counsel.
