North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 99 - State Gaming Commission › Article 99-01.3 - Games of Chance › Chapter 99-01.3-05 - Raffles › Section 99-01.3-05-02 - Tickets - Limitations and requirements

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. Each raffle
				ticket is a separate and equal chance to win with all other tickets sold. A
				person may not be required to buy more than one ticket, or to pay for anything
				other than the ticket, to enter a raffle. An organization may sell several
				tickets or sell tickets in advance of a special event to a person at a
				discount. A discounted ticket must be specifically designated as a discounted
				ticket on the ticket and its stub. The number of discounted tickets must be
				predetermined and separately issued and accounted for when issued to a ticket
				seller.
2. An organization may not
				allow a raffle ticket seller to retain a ticket for free or retain any portion
				of the price of a ticket as compensation, and may not compensate the seller a
				certain amount or provide a gift for selling a winning ticket. An organization
				may provide a raffle ticket seller a fixed amount for selling the most or a
				certain number of tickets. No raffle ticket can be resold.
3. A raffle ticket must have a detachable
				stub that is consecutively numbered. A raffle ticket stub must have a duplicate
				number corresponding to the number on the ticket and contain the player's name,
				address, and telephone number, or email address, except when double roll
				tickets are used. A ticket must be issued, as a receipt, to a player. For a
				raffle conducted by a licensed organization, the ticket numbers must be
				mechanically or electronically imprinted. For a raffle conducted by an
				organization that has a permit, the ticket may be manually imprinted.
4. An employee may not sell a ticket on a
				site where another organization is licensed or has a permit unless the employee
				is granted permission by the lessor and other organization. An employee of a
				lessor may sell raffle tickets at the site for the organization authorized to
				conduct games at that site, except for online raffles according to section
				99-01.3-05-01.1.
5. A ticket seller shall return the stubs of
				all tickets sold. The stubs must be intermixed in a receptacle.
6. An organization shall return the price of
				a ticket to a player if the stub of the player's ticket was not placed in the
				receptacle for the drawing.
7. For
				a calendar raffle, the stub of each ticket sold must be entered in all the
				drawings conducted since the ticket was sold. A licensed organization may not
				conduct a calendar raffle for other than a fiscal year beginning July first and
				ending June thirtieth.
8. An
				organization may not conduct a drawing unless two employees are present. A
				drawing must occur at an authorized public or private site.
9. In conducting a drawing, an employee shall
				draw a stub for the highest valued prize first. If there is more than one
				prize, an employee shall continue drawing for the prizes in the order of
				descending value. A prize is valued at its cash value or retail price. An
				organization may defer announcing the names of the winning players and
				respective prizes until after all the drawings have occurred and may make the
				announcement in any sequence. This rule does not apply when an organization
				adopts a written policy to place a winning player's stub immediately back into
				a receptacle to potentially be drawn for another prize or multiple drawings
				with a winner's choice of prizes.
10. An organization may not print any word or
				phrase on promotional material or advertising which implies or expresses that a
				purchase of the ticket is a charitable donation.
