Two of the benefits of purchasing a raffle ticket

Your purchase of a raffle ticket is likely to give you at least two benefits.
Firstly of course there is the great feeling of knowing that you are supporting a worthwhile charity. Raffle ticket buyers provide millions of dollars of support for many charities every year.
Another benefit is that exciting feeling of imagining yourself having won the first prize or one of the other prizes, a feeling that you can either keep for yourself, or pass on to another person. Some peoples strategy is to purchase a ticket and to enjoy the exciting feeling until very close to the date when the raffle is to be drawn, and just before the draw date when the excitement and anticipation is at its peak, give the ticket to a friend.
While the chances may be that the excitement will fade to a deep feeling of satisfaction knowing that the charity has been financially supported by your actions, the ones who win still have the choice of keeping the prize or giving it away.
