Without a winner? New raffle needed up front (5)
I believe the answer is:
drawn
'without a winner? new' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'raffle needed up front' is the wordplay.
'raffle' becomes 'draw' (a prize draw).
'up front' indicates taking the first letters (the letter at the front of the word).
The initial letter of 'needed' is 'n'.
'draw'+'n'='DRAWN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drawn that I've seen before include "Picked" , "strained expression?" , "27 [ON TOW]," , "Looking strained, sketched" , "(Of a face) showing evidence of strain" .)
