A raffle ticket template helps you print professional numbered tickets for a fundraiser, school fair, club night or company party without paying a print shop. On this page you can download three free raffle ticket templates in Word: raffle tickets with stubs (8 per page), fundraiser raffle tickets (10 per page in two columns) and event door prize tickets that guests fill in and drop in a box.
Each file is a real, editable .docx document made for this page. Type your event name, draw date, price and prizes, number the tickets and print them on ordinary paper or card. Every ticket has a matching stub with the same number, so you can keep one half for the draw and give the other half to the buyer.
Free download: 3 templates (.docx). Works in Word and Google Docs. No sign-up needed.
What Is a Raffle Ticket?
A raffle ticket is a numbered ticket sold to raise money or offered as an entry to a prize draw. Each ticket usually has two parts:
- The ticket, which the buyer keeps as proof of entry.
- The stub, which the organizer keeps and places in a drum, box or hat for the draw. The stub usually has space for the buyer’s name and phone number so the winner can be contacted.
Both parts carry the same number. When a stub is drawn, the person holding the matching ticket wins. Raffles are a popular way for schools, charities, churches, sports clubs and community groups to raise funds, because they are simple to run and people enjoy the chance to win a prize.

The three Word files below cover classic raffle tickets, compact fundraiser tickets and free door prize tickets.
Raffle Ticket with Stub
This classic layout prints 8 tickets per page. The stub has the ticket number and lines for the buyer’s name and phone number. The ticket shows the event name, draw date, price and prizes, with the matching number. A dashed line between the parts shows where to cut or tear.
Fundraiser Raffle Ticket
The fundraiser ticket fits 10 tickets on a page in two columns, which saves paper when you need a lot of tickets. Each ticket has a “Support our cause” heading, space for the organization name, the draw date, time and place, the ticket price and a “winner need not be present” line.
Event Door Prize Ticket
Door prize tickets are usually free and given to guests when they arrive at an event. Guests write their name and phone number on the stub and drop it in a box, then keep the ticket half. The template prints 8 tickets per page and includes the event name and date.
What to Include on a Raffle Ticket
- Ticket number, the same on the ticket and the stub
- Event or organization name
- Draw date, time and place
- Ticket price
- Main prizes
- Buyer’s name and phone number on the stub
- “Winner need not be present” or any other draw rule
- Contact details of the organizer, if space allows
How to Number Raffle Tickets in Word
The templates start at number 1001. To change the numbers:
- Open the file in Word and decide your starting number.
- Click on the first number and type the new one. Do the same for its stub.
- Repeat for each ticket on the page, adding 1 each time.
- Save the page, then use Save As to make the next page and continue the numbers.
For large print runs, many people use Word’s Mail Merge with a simple list of numbers in Excel. Create a list from 1001 to the last number you need, insert a merge field where the number appears, and Word will produce one ticket for every row.
How to Print Raffle Tickets
- Check the event details and prices carefully before printing.
- Print one test page on plain paper to check the alignment and spelling.
- For the final copy, use thicker paper or light card (around 160 to 200 gsm) so tickets feel sturdy.
- Colored paper makes tickets easy to spot and harder to copy.
- Cut along the outer lines with a paper trimmer. Fold the line between ticket and stub so it tears easily.
- Bundle tickets into books of ten or twenty with a rubber band or staple, and record which seller has which numbers.
How to Run a Successful Raffle
- Check the rules first. Raffle and lottery laws vary by country, state and city. Some places require a license or permit, limit prize values or only allow raffles by nonprofits. Check with your local authority before selling tickets.
- Choose attractive prizes. Ask local businesses to donate prizes in return for a mention.
- Set a fair price. Offer a deal such as one ticket for a small price or a strip of five for a little more.
- Track ticket sales. Write down which seller has which ticket numbers and collect money and stubs regularly.
- Promote the raffle. Share the prizes and draw date on social media, posters and newsletters.
- Make the draw transparent. Mix the stubs well, draw in public and ask an independent person to pull the tickets.
- Contact winners promptly. Call or message winners who are not present and publish the winning numbers.
Raffle Ticket Ideas for Different Events
- School fair: use bright colors and a cartoon prize such as a bike or tablet.
- Charity gala: use elegant fonts and print on cream card.
- Sports club: add the club logo and team colors.
- Church fundraiser: list the cause, such as a roof repair or mission trip.
- Office party: use free door prize tickets so every guest has a chance to win.
- Holiday raffle: add seasonal colors and a festive prize basket.
Customizing the Templates
All text in the templates can be edited. You can change fonts, colors and borders, insert your logo or a small image of the main prize, and adjust the layout. If you change the size of a ticket, check a test print to make sure all tickets still fit on the page. Keep the number large and clear on both the ticket and the stub so the draw runs smoothly.
Keeping Raffle Records
Good records protect your organization and make the draw fair. Before the raffle, write down the range of numbers printed and which seller took which books. After each sale day, collect the money and the stubs together and count them. At the draw, note who drew the tickets, the winning numbers and the prize each winner received. Keep unsold tickets and the final count with your records, so you can show how many tickets were sold and how much money was raised.
Common Raffle Ticket Mistakes
- Duplicate numbers. Check that no number appears twice, especially when you make extra pages.
- Missing draw details. Always print the date, time and place of the draw.
- Thin paper. Tickets printed on normal office paper tear easily and look less professional.
- No contact details on the stub. Without a name and phone number you cannot reach a winner who has left.
- Unclear prizes. List the main prizes on the ticket so buyers know what they could win.
Selling Raffle Tickets
Give each volunteer seller a book of tickets, a cash envelope and a short note with the prizes and draw date. Ask sellers to write the buyer’s name and phone number on the stub at the time of sale, not later. Set a deadline a day or two before the draw to return stubs, money and unsold tickets. If you accept card or mobile payments, record the payment reference on the stub so every sale can be matched to a payment when you count up.
