How to Track a Raffle in the Events Module

If you would like to track a raffle in Eleo, you can do so using the Events Module. A basket raffle, also known as a ‘Tricky Tray’ or ‘penny sale’, is frequently used for fundraising games. This type of raffle is often used to attract donors who may only be able to donate a small amount. Additionally, donors who enjoy contests where they have a chance to win or lose may also enjoy participating in this event. Technically, the Tricky Tray is a combination of a silent auction and a raffle.

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to add this as an Activity in your Event Module:
