Facts about Lottery Raffles

Due to the success of online lottery play, lottery raffles have quickly spread to players across the world. They have become the go-to choice for many, especially at Christmas time.

They are all raffle games at heart, but with interesting twists that make them each unique in their way.

When you play a lottery raffle, typically the numbers are selected for you, usually in the form of pre-printed code.

Each raffle you play will have a different payout and slightly different odds of winning.

Unlike lotteries, raffles do not roll over, the top prize is always awarded.

If you’re planning on entering a lottery raffle ensure you purchase in plenty of time. A raffle only has a limited number of available tickets. Unlike a lottery which has no limit on the number of participating tickets.

So, now you know all about lottery raffles. Fancy giving them a try?
