IMHO, that would not be a good move (in terms of the emotional effect on those who bought chances early). Maybe a discount on multiple tickets?

One of the best gimmicks I've seen for a raffle was giving six tickets for the price of five. That does wonders for sales of a one-dollar raffle ticket; I'm not sure how it applies here. Where I might have ponied up $1, $2, or $3---it induces almost everyone to give $5 each time they buy a ticket.
