Two High-Impact Fundraisers. One Powerful System.
Ball drops and duck races aren’t “traditional raffles.” They involve physical, pre-numbered objects that must match supporter entries perfectly, require hybrid sales, and demand operational precision. Most generic raffle tools weren’t built for this. Chance2Win’s online raffle software was.
Golf Ball Drop Fundraisers
High-revenue, sponsor-driven events commonly hosted at golf tournaments, fire department fundraisers, corporate charity events, and police benevolent associations.
- ✔️ Release thousands of numbered balls from helicopters, cranes, rooftops, or platforms
- ✔️ Exact matching of ticket numbers to physical balls
- ✔️ Protection against duplicate or missing numbers
- ✔️ Refund-safe number integrity
- ✔️ Hybrid sales: online plus event-day cash or check
- ✔️ High-volume bundle management
Duck Race Fundraisers
Community-driven, highly visual events often hosted at festivals, school PTO events, waterfront celebrations, Rotary clubs, and chambers of commerce.
- ✔️ Sequential duck numbering and clean assignments
- ✔️ No duplicates, no recycled numbers
- ✔️ Refund protection for numbering integrity
- ✔️ Merge online and in-person sales automatically
- ✔️ Transparent winner verification for public trust
Why Sequential Number Control Matters
In ball drops and duck races, every object is pre-numbered, and every ticket must correspond to exactly one physical ball or duck. Refunds and offline sales can’t break that integrity. Chance2Win was engineered for physical-object raffles, so your numbering stays clean, auditable, and public-trust-safe.
Chance2Win does not run your raffle. Your organization manages the fundraiser. We provide the infrastructure your team uses to run it correctly.
Hybrid Sales Built In
Both ball drops and duck races rely heavily on in-person ticket sales. With Chance2Win you can sell online before the event, sell via mobile at the event, accept cash and check, and merge every entry into one unified numbering pool.
Pre-event online sales
Start building momentum early with a mobile-first checkout experience and simple sharing.
Event-day mobile selling
Sell at the course, riverside, or festival grounds, without splitting your entry system.
Cash and check supported
No separate spreadsheets. No disconnected systems. No reconciliation chaos.

Which Pricing Model Is Right for Us?
Zero Fee or Premium, how do we choose?
If avoiding any upfront cost is the priority, choose Zero Fee, your organization pays $0 and supporters cover a fixed 12% service charge. If you want the cleanest possible checkout and better fee efficiency on larger raffles, choose Premium and pay a fee starting at $329.
When does Premium beat Zero Fee?
Roughly once your raffle crosses about $8,000 to $10,000 in gross ticket sales. Below that, Zero Fee is usually hard to beat. Above it, Premium’s fee typically costs less overall than the 12% supporter charge. Not sure? Our team will run your numbers.
What exactly is the 12% on Zero Fee?
A fixed, fully disclosed supporter service charge shown separately at checkout, with card processing included. Your organization pays nothing and keeps 100% of the ticket price. It is never a hidden or variable amount.
Will supporters get hit with surprise fees or tip prompts?
No. Every charge is shown clearly before checkout completes, with no preselected tip to undo.
Can we run both a ball drop and a duck race in the same season?
Yes. Both formats run on the same Chance2Win infrastructure, so your team learns one system for either event.
