Allowed a share in a raffle ticket (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

let

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'allowed a share' is the definition.
'let' can be an answer for 'allowed' (to let is to allow or permit). I am unsure of the 'a share' bit.

'in a raffle ticket' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LET' is hidden within 'raffle ticket'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for let that I've seen before include "Service that must be repeated" , "Allow; permit" , "Permitted" , "Reason for scrubbing service" , "Allow; rental period" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
