Fair enough. Thanks.
I've done a few of these as fund raisers. When you set a number of X, people know they are doing a good thing and getting, at a minimum, a 1 in 100 chance to win. Gives incentive to buy more tickets.
Generally if you sell all the tickets you can, you have to sell them for a buck each and raise about the same amount of money, it takes longer, and getting the tickets/drawing/money to match is a nightmare.

I do indeed. Either would be fine with me.

One question though. Why cap it at 100 tickets? I think everyone knows winning the prize isn't really the objective and it limits your earning ability for a good cause. Please don't take this as a criticism. I'm just trying to understand the thought behind it as I spend a lot of money on these type raffles with the expectation that the odds of winning anything are very low.

Capping at 100 is a win win. $1000 dollars for food and a low cost rifle for somebody.
