Take a chance with raffles.

Raffle tickets are undoubtedly a necessary part of any raffle function; they are physical proof of the players' purchase, and are to be presented in order to claim any prize—this comes obvious enough.

Tickets usually come at a low price, thus offering a great return for an average of 7 euros. It is not even uncommon to find a chance to win a 7000 euro prize in a German raffle for that same average ticket price. Tickets are, more often than not, priced according to the value of the prizes cross-referenced with the expected number of people that will join the raffle; to put it quite simply: the bigger the prize the bigger the price.

Raffle tickets come in various physical forms, depending on the ones organizing the raffle. The standard part of it though would be an identifying mark such as a marker, making all raffle tickets different from each other. For a prize you really want, it would do you well to purchase more than one ticket, as each ticket turns the odds in your favor, quite obviously.

The raffle ticket then, is perhaps the perfect metaphor of human chance, as indeed it does literally translate into ONE chance.
