raffle
Ticket-based lottery
A raffle is a lottery in which people buy numbered tickets for a chance to win a prize, with winners drawn at random.
Raffles are common fundraisers for schools, churches, and charities: We're raffling off a handmade quilt.
To raffle something is to offer it as a prize in such a drawing.
