How to play a car

A popular way to raise money for a charity, school, or non-profit organization is by giving away a car. This type of lottery can attract large crowds interested in raffling off a car. However, there are a few things you need to take into account before giving away a car, including finding a good raffle car, determining how much you want to win from the raffle, and promoting the raffle to increase lottery ticket sales.

Part 1 of 5: Find a Car to Draw

Necessary materials

• Cellular telephone
• Desktop or laptop
• Paper and pencil

The first step you need to take when setting up a raffle car is to find a raffle car. You also need to consider what type of car you want to give away. Some of the different options to consider include luxury, sports, compact or other types of vehicles.

• FunctionsA: You must also include additional prizes in the draw. Although these prizes will be worth less, they can serve as a good consolation prize. These types of prizes can include gift cards, vacation packages, or even car-related items.

Step 1: Determine the type of car you want to raffle. Think about what type of vehicle will provide the most attraction for lottery ticket sales.

Step 2: Ask Dealers for Donations. Reach out to businesses and organizations that you think might be interested in working with you.

Many car dealerships may be willing to donate a car if the money goes to a worthy cause. In addition to the free publicity generated by the publicity of such an event, you can also offer them a share of the profits from the draw as an additional incentive.

Step 3: Find a Private Donor. Another option is to find someone with the type of vehicle you are looking for who is interested in donating it to a worthy cause.

While private individuals don't necessarily need the exposure that a donation brings, philanthropists tend to donate money and items to charity for more altruistic purposes, including the joy of helping others.

• A warningA: When looking for a car to raffle off, be aware of taxes, if any. Depending on the status of your organization and whether you pay your employees or they are only volunteers, it depends on whether your lottery is tax-exempt. It's best to check with your accountant or your secretary of state's office to make sure you've covered all of your tax bases.

Part 2 of 5: Determine the Price of Lottery Tickets

Necessary materials

• Calculator
• Desktop or laptop
• Paper and pencil

When you have a car to draw, you need to determine the price of your lottery tickets. You want to earn about three times what the car is worth. This should give you enough wiggle room to cover any additional costs, pay for any additional prizes, and make a profit in case you don't sell all your tickets.

Step 1: Determine the ticket price. To calculate how much you want to sell your lottery tickets for, multiply the car's value by three and then divide that amount by the number of tickets you expect to offer.

Keep in mind that lower priced tickets should sell more, but you don't want them to be too low or you'll lose money on the lottery.

Step 2: Define the draw rules. In addition to ticket prices, take this opportunity to work out the rules of the draw. Some things to consider include:

• Eligibility rules including minimum age
• Residence Requirements
• Responsibilities of the winner (e.g. who pays taxes)
• In addition, include a list of individuals not eligible to participate in the draw, such as relatives of those running the draw.

Step 3: Print tickets. The last step in this part of the process is to print the tickets. When designing a ticket, you need to provide important information such as:

• The name of your organization.
• Vehicle supplier.
• Date, time and place of the draw
• Lottery ticket price.

Necessary materials

• Desktop or laptop
• Paper and pencil

Promoting your draw is just as important as selling tickets. Without enough promotion, you can expect to sell fewer lottery tickets and less money. Before selling your first ticket, you must develop a strategy for where and how you want to promote your giveaway to potential ticket buyers.

Step 1. Determine the places to promote. Contact some local businesses to see if they will let you set up a kiosk outside of their location.

Be sure to explain to which charity the proceeds from the draw will go.

Step 2. Schedule the time of the promotion. If the company agrees to let you promote the lottery at your location, set a date and time for your booth to be set up.

Make sure others have agreed to take the time to service the booth in addition to you.

• Functions: Be sure to advertise what your raffle is for, both the charity or organization and the associated prize. Also, don't forget to design and print large signs to grab the attention of passing shoppers.

Step 3: Spread the word. Some other advertising ideas include advertising in the local newspaper, handing out flyers, or advertising on local radio and television.

Also, have your volunteers tell all their family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers about the prank and the great cause it supports.

• Functions: To sell more lottery tickets, develop one or two promotional offers to make buying tickets more attractive. Be sure to include the reason, the prize being awarded, and any secondary prizes to be drawn.

Part 5 of 5: Play a Car

Necessary materials

• Large bowl or other container (from which tickets can be taken)
• Any secondary prizes
• Car up for auction

Once you've sold as many tickets as you can, it's time to draw. The raffle, usually held in a large venue such as the car dealership that donated the car, should be a big event. You can even invite local celebrities to participate and invite local media to cover the event. You should also provide plenty of entertainment to fill the time you're not giving away tickets, including live music and free or inexpensive food.

• FunctionsA: To make even more money for your charity or organization, consider selling admission tickets to the lottery draw itself. It can also help offset the cost of any food or entertainment you provide at the big event.

Step 1: Place all the tickets in a bowl or other container large enough to hold them all.. Don't forget to put on a show by mixing all the tickets together so everyone knows it's a fair raffle.

Step 2. First, raffle tickets for secondary prizes.. Start with less expensive prizes and work your way up to the car draw by offering prizes of ever-increasing value.

Step 3: Pull out the car lottery ticket. Ask local celebrities or members of the community that you have invited to the draw to make a drawing to give it more meaning.

Giving away a car to a good cause is a great way to support charities and organizations. When drawing a car, make sure it looks its best by having it cleaned by a professional car service.
