I get some fun interesting stories from Etsy buyers and here is one of them....

Hey what's going on?
Thanks for the tickets. I'm not a teacher, I'm an
electrician. The reason behind the purchase is due to the General
Contractor requiring us to ride the bus from a parking lot 1 mile from
the job site. The only way to get inside the job site is by these yellow
tickets.
I'm a single full custody father to a 6 yr old and I can't
imagine letting anything happen to him due to waiting for a ride back to
my vehicle, so I get to park across the street thanks to you.
We are
building an additional tower to a children's hospital, it is a seven story
building with 2 basements. I enjoy what I'm doing because I love helping
children, especially kids with needs. I appreciate the sale.
Have a good
day

So happy some yellow raffle tickets went to someone to help them save time and worry over their little one having to wait for a ride alone! Who knew how handy these can be!
I asked if he was a teacher because these are a great teacher tool to teach so many different things. I mainly used them for a homework reward and it was so fun and funny to teach math on how to better your odds to win the grand prize for raffle ticket time! (Which was the last 10 minutes everyday with the grand prize raffle each Friday and premium prize every last day of the month!)

These simple raffle tickets insure that the end of the day goes smoothly and in an orderly manner with clean up and pre dismissal time chores, like writing down homework, etc.
It also improves listening skills and responsibility! It must be quiet to hear the numbers being called out and who wants to be looking for their hard earned tickets during raffle time? Be ready and prepared or who knows what one might miss!
Daily prizes were pencils, erasers, stickers, etc. Grand prizes were in a treasure chest and some of the prizes were chosen by the class and were sometimes items they donated for the class new or recycled.
Premium prizes were "My dog ate my homework, no worries" cards, first in line for a week, sitting next to your pick for a day (or an hour, depending on how long I could tolerate) and other things students prized the most.
These are the best "caught doing good" rewards to pass out too!
I think I've explained most of it for classroom use or read more it on as part of the description here.
These also make good party favors for raffle ticket time for any celebration of birthdays and weddings, especially at large events were food is being served and is a fun filler time activity while waiting for the next thing to begin.
One doesn't need actual tangible prizes, they can be fun requests or sharing a memory about the host, or riddle or joke or getting a free drink.

Saying Goodbye: These are much more plentiful now than when I needed them teaching and I still use them in my card making. I have more own stash saved and I do give these out as part of my "Thank you" package with each order.
What I Learned:
1. One never knows how creative people are with how they are going to use something! I am always surprised and amazed by the stories I receive. So inspiring and fun!
2. Speaking of inspiration, I haven't been very inspired lately with keeping up with my blog and I have a lot of stories piling up! But I have been inspired and making huge progress on my hoarded up second room! It doesn't look like a music art room yet, but I can safely say that there is enough space for the room to be vacuumed safely without worry of falling boxes!
As a matter of fact, I have made so much extra room that I am almost have enough extra space to empty my hoarded up truck and see what I've been storing in there for the past five years!
3. I'm still not sleeping and getting up at 3 am, but I must say it's working in my favor because I am sure getting a whole lot more done!
Sample of some of the things that might be in a "Thank you" package with your order, which now includes a raffle ticket coupon just for fun!
