Raffle Tickets vs Chocolate Wheel Tickets – What’s the Difference and Which Should You Use?

If you're organising a fundraiser, community raffle, school event, or club draw, choosing the right type of ticket is crucial. At Mega Office Supplies, we stock a full range of raffle ticket books and chocolate wheel tickets—but what’s the difference and when should you use each?

Understanding the Types of Event Tickets

1. Raffle Tickets

Raffle tickets are the classic format used in traditional prize draws. Each ticket is typically purchased by a participant in hopes of winning a prize when the draw is made. These are ideal for:

• School fundraisers
• Sports club raffles
• Charity prize draws
• Community markets or fetes

Each ticket is numbered and often includes a matching stub kept for the draw. Raffle tickets are simple, affordable, and effective for any fundraising event.

2. Chocolate Wheel Tickets (Spinning Wheel Tickets)

Chocolate wheel tickets are a more specialised format, designed for use with a numbered spinning wheel. Also known as spinning wheel tickets, these are commonly used in:

• RSL meat tray raffles
• Bowling club or pub nights
• Bingo or lottery-style games
• Seasonal community draws

Each ticket corresponds directly to a number on the wheel. When the wheel is spun, the winning ticket is based on where the arrow lands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are check tickets the same as raffle tickets?

Not exactly. Check tickets are often used for general entry, cloakroom tags, or as simple numbered tickets. Raffle tickets are purpose-built for fundraising prize draws.

Can I use chocolate wheel tickets in a regular raffle?

Technically yes, but they’re best suited for spinning wheel style games. For traditional raffles, go with a numbered raffle book with stubs.

How many prizes should I offer in a raffle?

This depends on your goal, but even a single attractive prize can generate strong ticket sales. Always advertise the number of prizes upfront.

Is it legal to run a raffle in Australia?

Yes, but most states have regulations. You may need a permit depending on the size of the prize pool. Always check with your local gaming authority.
