rafflers

Ticket-draw organizers

Rafflers are people who conduct or participate in raffles—games of chance where tickets are sold and winners are drawn at random to receive prizes.

The term most often refers to those organizing the raffle rather than those buying tickets.

The rafflers set up their booth at the church fundraiser.

Charitable organizations frequently rely on rafflers to raise money through donated prizes.
