Custom raffle drums that make the moment.
Any size, any finish, any number of tickets. Manual hand-crank for ceremony, motor-driven for scale. We've built raffle drums that have spun once a year for 25 years — and we're building the world's largest raffle drum right now.
Tell us how many tickets. We'll tell you the drum.
Most manufacturers of raffle drums offer three sizes. We offer one approach: tell us the ticket count, the venue, the moment you want to create — and we engineer the drum around it. Charity gala or country-wide fundraiser, it's the same process. Just a different drum.

Any Size
From tabletop drums sized for a charity gala to room-scale builds for country-wide fundraisers. We engineer to your venue and your ticket count.
Manual or Automated
Hand-crank for the ceremonial feel of a traditional draw, or motor-driven for unattended spins, scheduled draws, and continuous promotional play.
Tickets or Balls
Paper tickets, numbered balls, bead-style tokens — pick the medium that fits your game format and audience expectation.
Custom Finishes
Gold leaf, brushed steel, branded vinyl wraps, themed colors. Engineered for the cameras and the audience seated 50 feet back.
Software & API
Result capture, on-screen graphics overlay, and integration with your existing lottery or studio platform. Optional but available on every drum.

Truly custom
Not a catalog with three sizes. Every drum is engineered to the ticket count, venue, mechanics, and look you specify.
In-house, end to end
Design, metal, wood, electronics, motors, software, finish — all done at our New Jersey facility. Nothing subcontracted.
Service in 128 countries
A drum built once should keep spinning. In-house technicians dispatchable globally, spare parts shipped from New Jersey.
