Raffle vs Lottery: Is a lottery raffle the same as a lottery game?

Here are the main differences, raffle vs lottery:

  • A lottery raffle offers a pre-printed code on the ticket you get while when you buy your lottery ticket, you can choose the numbers you want (or use the Quick Pick option to give you a random selection of numbers.)

  • Every raffle draw always sees a winner (at least) of every prize! In certain lotteries, the jackpot can rollover when he isn’t won, or shared amongst the winners of the second category.
