The gross revenue of a raffle isn't the same as an individual paying x amount, above and beyond face value, to participate. The procurement of the ticket is on more of an even playing field - for the most part. Because, I could buy $320 worth of tickets - even $1000 worth - and still not get the ticket. So, a raffle isn't scalping or a discrete markup where the 'highest bidder/best funded' actually does win.

You know, every casino in Reno is guaranteed to have the loosest slots in town, right? They put it right on their signs![]()
With odds like that, the only way to lose is not to play.

It is nice that you don't have to feel like you're participating in scalping while the ticket seller pulls in multiple times the face value of the ticket, I guess?

I know this isn't the intended meaning of that question, but it gave me a great idea for optimizing the profit margins on raffles: the raffle prize will be the "opportunity" to buy the ticket at face value. It makes the raffle itself purely profit!
