Need cheap contest idea for lottery give-a-way at the news stand where I work.?

Question

The news stand where I work is celebrating it's 30th anniversary. We have lottery tickets to give away but need some kind of quick contest to pick winners. Only idea we have is filling balloons with paper that says winner and giving them out in groups of 15. Pretty boring. Also filling a jar with gumballs to guess count for one bigger prize. Any ideas??

Answer 1

How many prizes do you have?  I was going to suggest the gumball/some kind of candy thing.  There is also the idea of stacked numbered boxes and having people put there money/slips in whatever number they want and then you just pick the number.  That's if you plan for lots of prizes, though.
