A penny auction is a friendly drawing game: every resident gets play tickets, each prize has its own cup, residents drop tickets into the cups of the prizes they hope to win, and you draw one ticket from each cup. Nobody bids against anyone, no cash is involved, and every resident can play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT IS INSIDE (14 pages: a cover, 12 working pages and a page of sources)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlan your penny auction: how many tickets to print for 10, 20, 30 or 40 residents, and what you need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRun the penny auction: four steps from set-up to the winner, with a few helpful habits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo table signs in large print: \"Penny Auction Today\" with lines for the time and place, and \"How to Play\" in four steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo ticket sheets: 25 play tickets on each sheet (Set A and Set B).
