Percentages or stats for a raffle?
I was wondering if there was any way to narrow down the odds on winning a raffle, without going overboard.
My friend's church is having a raffle (iPad 2) to raise money for their kids to go to church camp this Summer. I bought 5 tickets.
He said they had 50 or 60 members in their church, and most of the kids and adults were selling tickets.
He didn't know how many tickets were on a roll, but they've already gone through a roll and a half, and the rolls are about 8 or 9 inches across and the size of movie tickets.
The drawing is the 21st of May, or thereabouts, and they've been selling about a week now.
With the data I've provided, can any of y'all tell me what my chances are likely to be in winning?
If I've left anything out, let me know.
Btw, another friend says raffles are scams.
I've never heard that before. Anybody else ever hear it?
