The score draws the winners
At the end of each quarter, the last digit of each team's score picks the winning ticket. Yours glows when it's in the running, and you get a text or email when it wins — no clawbacks. Then pick your prize: a digital gift card from the raffle's menu, delivered to you, or donate it back to the cause.
You buy your ticket from the organizer in person — the platform just tracks who's in and who's paid. Every ticket is a fundraiser for the cause.
Squares, in plain words
- Raffle
- The whole game your nonprofit runs — one grid of tickets for a game or a season. “Join the raffle” = get a ticket.
- Ticket
- One spot on the grid, and your spot all season. A raffle ticket you buy in person; grab one or a few.
- Grid
- The 10×10 grid of 100 tickets. Numbers run across the top and down the side.
- Your numbers
- The two digits your ticket lands on — one from the top, one from the side — assigned at random when sales close.
- Lock
- The moment sales close and the random numbers get assigned. Sealed in advance so no one can pick favorable numbers.
- Period
- A scoring checkpoint — end of the 1st quarter, halftime, 3rd quarter, and the final. Each one draws a winning ticket.
- How you win
- At each period, take the last digit of each team’s score; the ticket where those two digits cross wins that prize.
- A fair draw you can check
- The winning numbers are sealed before anyone picks and revealed after the draw, so anyone can check for themselves that it wasn’t rigged.
- Prize / gift
- What a winning ticket gets — cash, or a gift card the winner picks from a menu the organizer set up. Winners can always donate a prize back to the fundraiser instead — plenty do.
- Charitable raffle
- How every Sunday Squares raffle runs: a registered nonprofit raffle — the money goes to the cause, tickets are sold in person, and the platform tracks your state filings. Rules vary by state.
- Where the money goes
- The large majority of ticket sales goes to your beneficial or charitable purpose; a small share can stay with your group. Prizes are donated or funded by the group — not from ticket sales — and the platform is typically covered by a presenting sponsor. Sunday Squares never takes a cut of ticket sales.
- Organizer
- The nonprofit running the raffle — booster club, council, parish, or PTA.
