Pair Raffle

Problem: For the pair raffle every participant gets a random ticket. A winning number is chosen, also at random. The
problem is to determine if any pair of tickets add up to the winning number.

Example Instances:
● The tickets [108, 442, 913, 5] are drawn and a winning number of 500
is drawn. This instance does not have a winning pair because no two
numbers add up to 500.
● The tickets [250, 20, 4] are drawn and a winning number of 254 is
drawn. This instance does have a winning pair, 250 and 4.

How Many Checks: Fill in the table below with how many checks are necessary with different numbers of tickets. It
may help to draw pictures and see if you start noticing any patterns emerge.

Group Raffle Checks


Problem: For the group raffle every participant gets a random ticket. A winning number is chosen, also at random. The
problem is to determine if any “group” of tickets add up to the winning
number. A “group” of tickets could be one ticket that is equal to the winning
number or a group of tickets that add up to the winning number. This group
could have two tickets in, or all of the tickets in. They just need to add up to
the winning number.

Example Instances:
● The tickets [411, 220, 710, 41] are drawn and a winning number of 1000 is drawn.
This instance does not have a winning group.
● The tickets [110, 923, 475, 301, 102] are drawn and the winning number of 1500 is drawn.
This instance does have a winning group, 923, 475, and 101.
