What does RAFFLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A way of raising money in which numbered tickets are sold and one or more are drawn at random to win prizes.
Schools, churches and charities run a raffle at fairs and dinners because it is simple to organise and people enjoy the suspense of the draw. Each ticket buyer has an equal chance, and the prizes are usually goods rather than cash. As a verb, to raffle something means to offer it as such a prize. Rules on raffles differ from place to place, since some count them as a form of gambling.
