Grocery grab / trolley dash raffle checklist: before, on the day and after

Before

Get the business’s written OK for the date and the spot you’ll use.
Get the landowner’s permission in writing.
Check the prizes and ticket sales fit the Class 1 or 2 limits, and write down what the money is for.The rules
Write a one-page safety plan: hazards, who is in charge, first aid, what to do if it rains.
Agree terms with the store: caps, time limits, excluded items, date.
Write grab rules (max 3 of any item, excluded products, safety).
Set the ticket cap from the total capped prize value.
Print and sell, including at a table outside the partner store.

After

Draw publicly; film the grab (with consent) for thank-you content.
Bank the money and record it in the books.
Tell supporters what you raised and what it will pay for.

Watch out for

Stating a $25,000 cap when the prizes only support a much lower print run.
Selling 'free sausage with every ticket' as entry to another event (keep the ticket standalone).

Class 2 lottery: a society runs it, prizes up to $5,000 retail and turnover up to $25,000, no DIA licence. Sold in person only, no remote sales (Facebook comments, messages, phone, or online orders paid by transfer); our rule is a numbered paper ticket for every entry. Value the prize at the cap; exclude alcohol, tobacco, vapes and Lotto from the grab. The supermarket must agree to the dash.
