Here are some basic guidelines to include in your rules:

• Include who is eligible to enter your raffle.  Any age requirements or resident requirements.
• Include the Start and End date of your raffle.
• Include the Drawing date and time and how the winner(s) will be chosen.
• Include prize information, such as the value, where it will be picked up or delivery options.
• Include tax and or title obligations if applicable.  Like for a car, the winner is responsible to insurance, tax and title.
• Include any restrictions or requirements on certain prizes. For example, a Nascar driving experience winner must be 18 or over with a valid drivers license or if there is wine in a basket raffle prize, that the winner must be 21 and show valid id to pick up the prize.
• Include how to get a free entry if your area requires that.  Chance2Win does not include an online free entry method and most organizations say that a self addressed stamped envelope must be mailed between xx date and yy date for a free entry.  One per envelope and household, etc.
• Include what the purpose is of the contributions for your raffle and how they will be used.  Such as new uniforms for the school team.
