Raffles

• A raffle is an activity in which participants buy a chance to win an item or service. For example, if I ask you to pay $1.00 for a ticket, which will be placed among several others, from which one will be randomly selected for a prize, this is a raffle. 
• Raffles and games of chance must be approved in advance by the Executive Vice President of Administration and Finance. Read the full policy under 'Gifts and Prizes' section.
• If you plan to organize a raffle, you must apply for a raffle license from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office at least thirty days prior to your event.
  • For more information on this process, visit the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office’s website.

Door Prize Drawings

• Placing names in a bowl for a chance to win a prize, and no money is exchanged, is a door prize drawing. 
• Prizes should be limited to under $100. Departments or units must maintain detailed records of all recipients and related expenditures. Read the policy. 

Games

• In addition to contacting local vendors for inflatables and novelty items, Georgia Tech students and staff can reserve a variety of fun activities from the RHA Resource Room, maintained by the Residence Hall Association.
  • An updated inventory list is maintained on their website, which includes items such as karaoke machines, board games, lawn games, and popcorn and snow cone machines. 
• For outdoor fun, the Campus Recreation Center rents a variety of game equipment for daily or extended use. Visit their website for a list of available equipment and costs.
