It's not a high tech complicated thing. I started it in December with an idea of helping - in a small way - A4A. Basically it runs like this.
I put a pic of something I donate, here on the site. December was one of my home-crafted walking companions, January was the 'Which? Gardening' book, February was 2 gardening books (next to no support that month!) Anyone interested bought a ticket(s) at £1 each. At the end of the month all the ticket numbers go into my walk-about-in-the-woods hat and one is pulled out. (Witnessed). That person receives the prize.
There is nothing more to pay apart from the cost of the ticket(s). Any profit is forwarded to Dan to help with the site.
Anyone wanting tickets just let's me know, I then send a PayPal request for the amount. When the transaction is confirmed I issue ticket numbers. That's really all there is to it.
One month so far has been quite well supported but books don't seem as popular as the walking companions for some reason. Maybe 'cos books aren't as unique!
This month there was a request to members for something far more important than the raffle so I didn't/haven't actually started one this month as yet, but the raffle is still alive and well and will pop-up when you're not watching....!
