RaffleHQ is the most powerful - and most fun - raffle and drawing app on the App Store. Whether you're running a school fundraiser, charity gala, corporate event, church raffle, or backyard party, RaffleHQ gives you professional-grade tools that are simple enough to use right from your iPhone. THREE POWERFUL EVENT TYPES Free Drawing The classic. Add your participants, hit draw, and reveal your winner with a dramatic live announcement. Perfect for door prizes, giveaways, and team selections. Free for everyone, with no limit on how many drawings you run. Paid Raffle Run a real ticketed raffle with confidence. Set your ticket price, track who paid, and let the weighted draw engine account for multi-ticket holders - so every ticket gets its fair shot. No math required. Reverse Raffle The most exciting format in the room. Instead of drawing one winner, RaffleHQ eliminates participants round by round, building suspense until one person remains. Customize how many are eliminated each round and set podium placements (Grand Prize, 2nd, 3rd). This is the format your guests will talk about. LIVE GUEST EXPERIENCE Guests join instantly with a simple 6-character code - no app download required to watch. They see winners announced in real time on their own device, and follow live eliminations, the winner reveal, and the full podium ceremony. It turns your drawing into a shared experience.
