1 out of 5 raffles admins say building a marketing strategy was a top barrier for their raffle program success in 2025.
These four Humane Society lotteries are barking up all the right trees, though — and it's growing their raffle results.
The Edmonton Humane Society doesn’t just throw supporters a bone — they deliver a whole toy box of epic prizes that keep supporters coming back for more.
🐾 Multi-prize format. The fun never paws-es when supporters are constantly checking social media to see who caught the treats.
Consistently reaching $20,000 jackpots is the norm for Victoria Humane Society. The cherry on top? A simple donation option at checkout that raises even more funds for animals — no extra effort required.
Paws-itively effective.
🐾 Donations. When you can count on reaching the maximum jackpot goal of $20,000 (see Alberta licensing rules for more on that), having a donation option at checkout helps them raise more with no extra effort.
A pet’s love is unconditional, and so is the hype around weekly 50/50 draws.
Just like a dog learns its owner’s commands, Nova Scotia SPCA supporters stick with giving opportunities that are consistent, low-maintenance, and reliable — like buying online 50/50 tickets.
🐾 Leaning into local love: With six chapters across the province, their raffle page allows supporters to pick which one to support directly with their ticket purchase, capitalizing on community love (and a little friendly competition).
What does a local SPCA do when it relies on donations, grants, and community support to care for animals in need? They raffle. The Saskatoon SPCA has built a raffle program designed to fund its mission while encouraging their community to show up monthly.
🐾 Capitalizing on consistency and "cute factor". Their marketing materials are branded and recognizable — plus, they add adorable dogs and cats to their templates, capitalizing on the fact everybody loves (and double taps) an animal photo
