1.
Prizes must only be cash and must be fifty percent or more of gross proceeds for each single
event raffle. However, a single cash prize may not exceed twenty-five thousand dollars and
the total cash prizes may not exceed twenty-five thousand dollars during a day. Prize payouts
must be based on ticket sales and not on cash retained by sellers. The maximum cash prize
limits of this section do not apply to a public-spirited organization that supports amateur
collegiate athletics. The public-spirited organization's primary purpose must include support of
collegiate athletics.
2.
A prize winner must be drawn on the date and at the location indicated on a bearer ticket.
3.
The winning draw number must be selected from all sold draw numbers from the current
single event raffle drawing.
4.
The organization shall post or publish by a public means, the winning draw number and where
the prize may be claimed. A winning player need not be present when a drawing is held but
shall claim the prize within five business days. A statement of the time of the drawing and
redemption period must be on all promotional material and be posted at a site. If a prize is not
claimed due to time limitations, the organization shall contact the attorney general.
5.
If there is a power failure or technical problem with the system and the system can no longer
be used, the raffle drawing must not occur until the power or system has been restored and all
purchased draw numbers have been printed into the receptacle. The attorney general is to be
notified immediately if a raffle drawing occurs and the organization later determines that not all
eligible draw numbers were placed into the draw container. The organization shall specify the
total number and draw numbers of the affected tickets and provide an explanation for how the
problem occurred.
