Ball Drop & Duck Race Chance2win

Two High-Impact Fundraisers. One Powerful Platform.

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 were not built for this — Chance2Win’s online raffle platform 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 + event-day cash/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.

  • Duck Race Fundraisers
  • Duplicate numbers assigned
  • Missing numbers due to refunds or failed orders
  • Refund protection for numbering integrity
  • Manual spreadsheet reconciliation
  • Public trust issues when winners can’t be verified cleanly

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.

    Planning a raffle fundraiser? The Chance2Win team wrote a 120-page book called Raffle Mastery that breaks down the strategies nonprofits use to raise more money with raffles.

    Inside the book you’ll learn:

    • ticket pricing psychology that drives larger purchases
    • bundle strategies that increase average ticket sales
    • promotion tactics that actually move tickets
    • common raffle mistakes that quietly destroy results

    The book normally sells for $19, but we give the ebook free to nonprofits who join our occasional newsletter.

    Ball Drops & Duck Races Require More Than a Basic Ticket Form.

    They require sequential numbering control, hybrid ticket merge, refund-safe integrity, and transparent winner verification. Chance2Win delivers all of it.
