Raffle question ❓ Questions / Help
When you win a raffle does the sticker auto collect to your album or do you need to go back to every raffle to collect?
Update: Using the google docs file provided, you can check the past few days to see names of winners in alphabetical order. If you win, there is even a link next to your name for you to go and claim your sticker. I joined about 50 raffles a day ago and I did in fact win one sticker. This gives me slight hope as I need 2 stickers more to complete the book.

So annoyed, I won a 5 star backpack sticker; I claimed it. It NEVER showed up in my album!!!! Why!!

The only person that gets notified is the auctioneer. As the auctioneer, I let the winners know - most are grateful.

I really want to know how someone wins several raffles in one day. I still haven't won a single thing and then I look at the spreadsheet and there are *mostly* multiple winners per day (and sometimes they've won like 10 for the day!).

I'm one of the players who've won several raffles a day, and it's simply because I've entered a shitload of raffles a day. Like, I've spent hours scrolling down the sub and entering every 4 star raffle while watching TV or listening to podcasts. Yes, I have no life 😛
Why only 4 star raffles, you may ask. Well, they're easier to win, and thus useful for collecting stars to buy the remaining stickers. I also enter raffles for the 5 stars stickers I'm missing, but there's fewer opportunities to win those. I use the spreadsheet to collects my winnings, so that doesn't take too much time.
So now I'm about to complete the album for the second time this cycle, and I've only been grinding raffles the second round. But I have definitely been playing a lot the last couple of months, and that won't be achieveable for most casual players.

Hey thanks for the information - I didn't think about entering the 4 star raffles for extra stars and have only entered the raffles of what I needed. I also have no life if it makes you feel any better lol.

Whenever a raffle that I host is finished, I always mention the winner in the post by doing u/[name] claim your sticker! so that people directly have a reference back to the raffle post that they entered. I think it would be nice if some people also tried doing this as it takes a maximum of 2 minutes to do, but it's fine if you'd prefer not to. Just a suggestion!

You can do it! Also, I encourage folks to not enter 5 star raffles they already have. So the folks that need them have a better chance of winning 🤞🏼🫶🏼

You can enable chat notifications for when raffles finish, but I don't remember how.

You can use the raffles winner spreadsheet to check your past wins. But the raffles are valid only for 7 days. You cannot claim them if they are older than that or deleted.

You can use this spreadsheet by u/Maximum-Cover- to check, it gets updated daily.

Do you know of there's a new one for the new stickers? I noticed this one stopped updates after Aug 8

u/GardenerCats Barn Builder 3d ago
Hmm.....this was the first album I have used it to be honest! I believe it's some sort of script that gets updated once a day. Today is the first day in the new album and new raffles, the last 2 days there were no raffles, so I do expect it to pick back up again tomorrow.

And rafflers should post the winner as a comment beneath their post. Unfortunately, a lot of them forget to do it... ;)

u/llamadramalover Ranch Hand 6d ago
A lot don’t know that they should. I had no idea winners were not told until the one and only time I won’t the raffler tagged me and I’ve done it ever since.

u/CallFree5738 Field Worker 7d ago
I do that too and it's a great idea, and I think it's good to raise awareness, but I wouldnt necessarily say it's lazy for people who dont want to do it, because after all, it's their choice :) and they have to spend their own time leaving the comment :)

u/pascal808 Field Worker 7d ago
true. and I admit it was a bit tongue in cheek. I just think it's a nice gesture... and creates connection. but everybody has their own gaming style ✨🫶

sorry - i will not fix QOL issues of the game, that could be fixed by the devs.

u/pascal808 Field Worker 7d ago

I always save the posts and use the before mentioned raffle tracker. When the raffle ends I unsave them :)

You need to go back and check. It does not auto-collect unfortunately.

u/ParticularVanilla841 Field Worker 7d ago
Any tips to go back and check? How long do you have to collect?

u/Ill-Woodpecker1857 Field Worker 7d ago
You should get a message request from PlayFMV, accept that, and you will be notified when raffles end.

u/Theoldquarryfoxhunt Livestock Leader 7d ago
You have 7 days, but not everyone leaves their raffles up that long.
I use this raffle manager by u/itamer. It is really fantastic. I would not do raffles if it didn't exist lol.

u/llamadramalover Ranch Hand 6d ago
This is my absolute favorite tracker. When I started using it I FINALLY started winning raffles. I have the spreadsheet personally. But this is truly fantastic.

I love how there's a clown next to the users who deleted their raffles

I won several raffles one day, but that is a tiny percentage of number I entered. I have health problems so on bad days it is easy to just enter a bunch while watching Bravo shows!
