Right now it wouldn't be possible to make the raffle much earlier. Maybe a few more hours.
To put our perspective out there, it cost us a lot of money to run the raffle, and we haven't yet hit 50% of our expenses. By us shortening the time available to hold the raffle, we would be really hurting our chances of raising money to bulid our shul.
With people being so busy with Yom Tov, especially now before Succos, its understandable that people aren't rushing to buy tickets.
We are grateful for the over 100 people who have taken the time to buy tickets, and not waited for the last minute closer to the raffle.
