Yes, but as long as there’s a chance to win a big prize, the other prizes don’t have to be massive.You can use https://wheelofnames.com/ to have them spin to see what prize they won, once in a while someone will win a drone or bicycle, the rest of the time they’ll go home with a yoyo, game, etc.
Regarding Avos Ubanim raffles, there should always be a nosh or small gadget given out to all kids in addition to the raffles because for some kids not wining any prizes week after week can be hard and pretty upsetting.
By us after a certain point in the season we start having a raffle for a smaller item that can only be won by someone who never won anything that season. By the end of the season we make sure that each kid wins at least one item, but we are relatively small with about 30 kids a week.
My local shul gave this out recently. I thought it was pretty cute. Basically an air hockey thing for hardwood floors.Don't know the exact type but this looks like it https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806321634757.html
Dr. Roberts gave this out at his Sukkos Chol Hamoed event, so many Lakewood area kids got it recently. Keep that in mind. (Don't know your location)

Looks like a great toy, but it's open box, so probably not good for Avos Ubanim
I have given these to kids in the past, and they always love them. (I gave boys a choice of prizes, and most boys choose this one.)It's usually about $12, but it's on sale now for $8.
