Raffle
A raffle — fortune left to a drawn ticket — often touches falling victim to speculation, with disappointment clouding the future. The dream may ask where you're staking hope on pure chance, and whether the long-odds gamble you've entered is more likely to leave you let down than enriched, however bright the prize seems.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for raffle, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you dream of raffling any article, you will fall a victim to speculation.
If you are at a church raffle, you will soon find that disappointment is clouding your future. For a young woman, this dream means empty expectations.
Fontaine, 1862
Raffling in your dream is the same as gambling; it foretells poverty and disgrace: to dream of raffling for poultry is a sign that your family (if you have one) will want bread; if you are single, it shows that you will be apt to get seedy and loaferish.
