Raffle Ticket Generator – Woocommerce Plugin

The free version of this plugin generates 500 unique raffle ticket numbers and then recycles. It starts with ticket number 100 and increments each ticket number by 1 until 599. The 501st ticket will be assigned number 100 again and so on. This is designed for small raffles. Upon completing checkout in WooCommerce, the customer is emailed the ticket numbers.

To setup the raffle, simple install the plugin as described below. Then create a product in WooCommerce and put in the number of raffle tickets for the product. Example, if you put 5 in the number of tickets field, that product will generate 5 tickets.
