   problem 1) you need permission to sell on school property
   problem 2) if you only sell $50 dollars worth of tickets, your $50 dollars in the hole….raffles have expiration dates

   I’m sure it is diff. state to state. Here (Oregon) you can have a raffle in school but all the proceeds must go to non-profit school organization. You know.. the band, cheerleaders, football uniforms ect.
