Product Overview

Introducing Ascend’s newest multi-product offering that allows groups to operate two simultaneous raffles in a single program. This includes the ability to have an add-on 50/50 for a fixed-prize raffle or running a progressive 50/50 draw to go along with your daily 50/50 raffles at major events. This feature will help create flexibility, increase revenue potential and streamline the marketing efforts for charities. From a front-end user experience, your supporters can view two active raffles on our multi-product landing pages and be able to include add-on tickets at checkout for a seamless purchasing experience.

Multi-Product Combinations

• 50/50 Raffle + 50/50 Raffle
  • Standard 50/50 raffle with the inclusion of an add-on 50/50 raffle
  • An example of this would be running a normal 50/50 raffle where you include an add-on progressive 50/50 that runs over the course of a longer period of time
• 50/50 Raffle + Prize Raffle
  • Product combinations can include a prize raffle with a 50/50 add-on or a 50/50 raffle with a prize raffle add-on. Additional prizing will help increase donor spend and offer more excitement for participants.
• Prize Raffle + Prize Raffle
  • Two separate prize raffles can be offered. For example, you can run a car raffle with trip raffle add-on.

Raffle Dependency

• Dependent
  • Dependent raffles operate with a primary raffle and secondary raffle. Tickets can only be purchased for the secondary raffle, if tickets are purchased for the primary raffle in the same transaction.
  • In the event that tickets sell out in the primary raffle prior to the final deadline, ticket sales for the secondary raffle close as the secondary raffle tickets are conditional on entry into the primary raffle.
• Independent
  • Independent raffles also operate with a primary raffle and secondary raffle, but purchase of secondary raffle tickets are not contingent on the purchase of tickets for the primary raffle.
  • Purchasers have the choice to participate in either one or both of the raffles. Both draws are independent of each other.
