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?

Without a context I cannot be sure, but I think you are refering to de word "SORTEO"

Good luck MArazul

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!

I understand Marazul, however, I did not mean "sorted" (sortead" I meant Sorteo, whihc is the atual event, by means of which the Raffle takes place. The event in which the winner is selected by a random selection of a raffle ticket.

Hope it helps

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
