One letter ≈ $250 of tickets

The free route yields 10 tickets, and a ticket sells for $25. Under F.S. 849.0935(4)(d) a free ticket and a bought one are the same chance, so the comparison is exact rather than approximate.

A charity raffle, not a sweepstakes

This is a Florida charity drawing held under F.S. 849.0935. Two parts of that statute change the maths. Subsection (4)(b) makes it unlawful to require a payment or donation to enter — the free route is compelled, not a courtesy. Subsection (4)(d) makes it unlawful to “discriminate in any manner between entrants who gave contributions to the organization and those who did not,” so a mailed-for ticket and a bought ticket are the same chance. The organiser caps entries at 10 per person, and that cap binds the largest buyer in the pool exactly as tightly as it binds you.

Before you mail

18+, US residents. ARV estimated. The page quotes $50/ticket at the top and $25 in the rules block — irrelevant on the free path, but a sign the page is partly copied from a prior raffle. Drawn at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando.

How to enter free

This sponsor publishes one free method of entry. Requirements are transcribed from the official rules — read them yourself.

Mail-in free ticket request

10 entries
One request letter yields up to 10 tickets — the per-person maximum. The tickets arrive blank and only count once mailed back, one per envelope, so a full allocation costs 1 request envelope + 1 SASE + 10 return envelopes.
What to write it on

Envelope / carrier
Enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the tickets to come back in.
Required markings
None specified.
When to mail
Post it by June 24, 2027 — the drawing is July 15, 2027

No postmark date is published for the free route. What governs is that your completed tickets are back with the sponsor before the drawing. Because they must post blank tickets to you first, allow about three weeks for the round trip.

This date is ours, not the sponsor's: they publish no postmark deadline for the free route, so it is worked back from the drawing. Treat it as the last comfortable day, not a guarantee.

Limits
10 tickets per person, per raffle. One request letter per raffle.
Disqualification risks
  • Two mailings, not one: request the tickets, then mail the completed tickets back.
  • One letter PER raffle — a single letter cannot cover two raffles.
  • Returned tickets must be ONE per envelope; 10 tickets means 10 stamped envelopes.
  • Budget the round trip. Allow ~2 weeks between mailing the request and the drawing.
Timing. Free and bought tickets are legally the same chance (F.S. 849.0935(4)(d)), and nobody may hold more than 10 (849.0935(5)). A full 10-ticket allocation costs about 12 stamps and puts you level with the largest holder in the pool.
