What would encourage people to buy a raffle ticket- A gift card, or a shiny new grill?

I am organizing a raffle, we are trying to figure out what to raffle off. We have $250 to work with. My thought was to get a nice grill (I found a $400 grill on sale for $250), but some people think it would be better to get a gift certificate for $250 to some store.
Now, I think, yes, a gift certificate is a nice idea, but contests don’t give away gift certificates. You don’t see “Win a gift certificate to this auto dealer” you see “win a CAR!”. Why? I think because an ITEM is tangible & exciting, and really seems like alot more than a gift certificate.
The idea is to sell as many tickets as we can.
What are your thoughts?

    I think it would depend upon the organization that is offering the raffle. I often buy tickets, knowing I won’t win, regardless of the prize, because I am supporting the organization.
