Thread: hello all...please help with a small translation

i am creating a flyer about a raffle. I have done much of the work myself, all i need is the correct word, usuage(?) for the phrase: RAFFLE DRAWING...Any suggestions?

i thought it would be sorted--sorteo, however not too many i know use that word and thought there may be another word...thanks for your quick reply!

Hi.
I've heard the word, rifa, used for raffle. Hope that gives you an option.

The word "draw" also means "empate"... term used when 2 people have all the numbers completed and both win, so both these people will share or get each of them the same prize by separate.

Hope that helps

Some Latin American countries use rifa to signify a drawing/raffle as in "estoy vendiendo estos boletos para una rifa en la cual el ganador...",

and most of the commercials in the US-Spanish television use the word sorteo as in "el sorteo se lllevara a cabo el 11 de noviembre"

I hope this helps

Hello:

I think you can use the word "RIFA" as well.

Good Luck
