I can't speak for the Washington charity raffle, but I can tell you that the Mets allow fans to pre-order baseballs and bases used in "today's" game.

You may not be able to see it in the photo, but the last bulleted item on the sign is a clause that allows the club "to cancel orders at any time." Which means, I guess, that if you pre-ordered a ball used in "today's" game for $40, but the game turns out to be a no-hitter, you're getting your money back, not a game-used ball.
