Quick answer: To make lucky draw coupons, set the first and last coupon number in the generator above (for example 1 to 500), change the event name, draw time, venue and coupon price, then click Download PDF. Every coupon and its stub get the same number, ten coupons to an A4 page. Print at 100% scale, cut along the crop marks and keep the stubs safe for the draw.

A lucky draw coupon is a numbered slip with a matching stub. The participant keeps the coupon, the organiser keeps the stub, and at the draw the number that is called out is checked against the coupon in the winner's hand. That is the whole system, and it suits a school fete, a housing society get-together, a community mela or an office party. The generator above uses the Lucky draw preset: Coupon No. before each number, A4 paper, ten coupons per page, and Name and Phone lines on the stub.

How to make lucky draw coupons in 5 steps

  1. Set the numbers. Enter the first and last coupon number. For 500 coupons use 1 and 500. Leave Digits on Auto and the numbers print as 001 to 500, which is easier to read out and to sort.
  2. Write the coupon. Add the event name, a line such as the occasion in Prize or main line, the draw time, the venue, the coupon price and the small print. The preview updates as you type.
  3. Choose the stub. Name and Phone lines are ticked, so the holder can be reached if they are not present when the number is called. Untick Phone for an office party.
  4. Check the paper. A4 and ten per page are already selected on this page. Pick eight per page for larger coupons with a logo.
  5. Download, test, print. Print the Test sheet on plain paper first, then the full PDF at 100% / Actual size.

Coupon sizes on A4

A4 is the standard paper size in India, and this page opens with A4 already selected, so there is nothing to resize. Every page keeps a margin for crop marks and a sheet number, and neighbouring coupons share their cut lines.

Plan the prize tiers before you print

Decide the prizes first, because they decide how many coupons you need and what to charge. A simple plan has three tiers: one bumper prize, a few second prizes and a larger number of small consolation prizes, so that more people go home with something. Draw the small prizes first and the bumper prize last, which keeps everyone at the venue until the end.

Example: 500 couponsWinnersNote
Bumper prize1Drawn last
Second prizes3Drawn after the consolation prizes
Consolation prizes10Drawn first; sweets, plants or small gifts

Check the sums before you print. If every one of the 500 coupons is issued, the amount collected is the number of coupons times the price, and it has to cover the prizes, the printing and anything else the event needs. Donated prizes allow a lower price; bought prizes mean working backwards from their cost.

Coupon price₹20₹50₹100
All 500 coupons issued₹10,000₹25,000₹50,000
Half issued (250)₹5,000₹12,500₹25,000

Print on A4 at home or at a local print shop

  • At home: print the Test sheet first. In the print dialog choose A4, single-sided and a scale of 100% or Actual size, never Fit to page. Ordinary copier paper works for a small draw; slightly thicker paper feels better and tears more cleanly at the stub.
  • At a print shop: take the PDF on a pen drive or email it to the shop. Ask for A4, 100% scale, single-sided, on the paper or colour you want. Colour printing usually costs more per page than black and white, so ask for both prices; the Minimal design uses black ink only.
  • For bigger runs: a shop with a guillotine can cut the whole pile along the crop marks in minutes, which beats scissors by a long way once you pass a few hundred coupons.

Cutting the coupons and keeping the stubs

  1. Trim the four margins along the crop marks, then make one cut down the middle and four across (at 10 per page).
  2. Fold back and forth along the dashed line so the stub tears off cleanly.
  3. When a coupon is given out, write the name and phone number on the stub, tear it off and drop it straight into a closed box with a slit. Loose stubs in a pile get lost.
  4. At the end of the issue, count the stubs in the box. The count should match the number of coupons given out.

Run the draw fairly

Explain the rules before the first coupon is given out: the draw time, the prizes and what happens if a winner is not there. On the day, ask someone who is not handing out coupons to draw. Mix the stubs, draw in front of everyone, read the number out twice and check it against the coupon the winner holds. Write down each number and winner as you go.

If you would rather draw by number than from a box, the free raffle winner picker works for any numbered draw. Enter your range, leave out the numbers you did not issue and draw one winner per prize; a number that has won is not drawn again.

What the PDF prints: ₹, Hindi and other scripts

You can type ₹50 in the Price box. The standard fonts built into PDF files have no rupee symbol, so the coupon prints it as Rs.50, which is also a common way to write rupees on paper. Those fonts cover English letters only, so Devanagari, Tamil and other Indian scripts cannot be printed. Write the coupon in English, or in Hindi words spelled with English letters. The menus say “ticket” because the tool also makes other kinds of numbered tickets; your coupons say whatever you type.

Check local rules before you start. Rules on lucky draws and lotteries differ between Indian states. These coupons are meant for community occasions such as society functions, school fetes and office parties. If you plan to sell coupons to the public, or the prizes are large, check local rules first. This page is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is a lucky draw coupon?

A numbered slip given to a participant, with a matching stub kept by the organiser. At the draw a stub is picked or a number is called, and the winner proves the win by showing the coupon with the same number.

How many lucky draw coupons should I print?

Print a few more than you expect to give out. Unused coupons cost only paper, and you simply leave their numbers out of the draw. A society function for 150 households could print 1 to 300; a school fete with a few hundred visitors might print 1 to 500.

Can I print lucky draw coupons on A4?

Yes. This page opens with A4 selected and ten coupons per page. If you ever need US Letter, change it under Paper and layout.

Can I print the ₹ sign and Hindi on the coupon?

You can type ₹ in the price, and the PDF prints it as Rs. because standard PDF fonts have no rupee symbol. Only English letters can be printed, so Devanagari and other Indian scripts are not supported.

Is a lucky draw legal?

Rules on lucky draws and lotteries differ between Indian states. For a draw where coupons are sold to the public or the prizes are large, check local rules before you start. This site does not give legal advice.

How do I choose the winners fairly?

Mix the stubs well and let someone who is not handing out coupons draw them in front of everyone, or use the free raffle winner picker to draw numbers from your printed range. Read the number twice and check it against the coupon before giving a prize.

Can I number coupons with a letter, like A-001?

Yes. Type A- in the Prefix box. A separate prefix for each tower, class or team stops stubs from different boxes being mixed up.

Is it free, and is my information uploaded?

It is free, with no signup. The PDF is built in your browser, so the names and phone numbers you type never leave your device. Each printed sheet carries a small “Made with TicketRun” line in the bottom margin, outside the coupons.
