Can I Choose My Ticket Numbers?

The question of ‘can i choose my ticket numbers?’ is a very popular query that maybe asked when browsing online raffles. After all, without a ticket number how can a winner be chosen?

There are essentially 2 methods used with how ticket numbers are processed and allocated. How it is done is completely the choice of the raffle provider.

Choosing a Ticket number

Choosing a ticket number is actually the least popular way that tickets are usually allocated. In the early days of online raffles it appeared to be the most common way! However, it appears overtime this method has decreased in popularity. Some online raffle providers do still prefer to sell tickets this way and it does actually add a further element of fun.

Entry pages that allow you to choose your ticket numbers make it a very easy process. You should find you choose your ticket numbers by simply highlighting your chosen numbers. The numbers will usually be visible slightly further down the entry page.

Raffle Ticket Number Layout

The layout is usually very similar for all raffle provider websites who give entrants the choice to choose their lucky numbers. Scrolling down the entry page you will see a list of numbers. Numbers that have already been taken will tend to be a different colour. To choose your numbers, simply click on the numbers you would like as your raffle ticket numbers. Once this has been done you will be able to purchase your chosen ticket numbers.

Once you have purchased you ticket numbers you should receive an email confirming your chosen numbers.

Receiving Ticket Numbers Via Email

Most Online Raffle providers use an automated system that will email random ticket numbers to the entrant once a purchase has been made. Furthermore, some providers will create an entry list. This list will typically appear on the entry page of the specific raffle. Here it will show the names of all entrants and the ticket numbers allocated to them. Other raffle providers may have a dedicated page for all entry lists, for all raffles.

If you enter an online raffle and find that you have not received your ticket numbers via your given email, then you must contact the raffle provider directly.
