I have just been along to a local fundraising event in the village with the intention of buying some raffle tickets. I asked how much they were and was told £1 for 5 tickets. For that I expect 5 chances as I am buying 5 tickets. Oh no. They don't put in each ticket individually; it goes in as a strip. If your strip is pulled out they don't put it back in for your next 4 chances. So, I am buying one chance, not 5. Why not sell one ticket for one chance for £1, rather than telling you that you're buying 5 tickets? I didn't buy any as the woman doing the raffle kept telling me that I have 5 chances but wouldn't put the strip back in should it be drawn. Is this another sign of today's lazy and can't be bothered society? Is it too difficult to write your name/ phone number on the back of each ticket?
I have sold raffle tickets at many an event and always sold 5 tickets for 5 chances. I get so frustrated with the lack of clarity. Sadly, so many people seem to be so complacent nowadays. Both sellers and buyers.
