				licensee may hold a drawing of winning tickets to determine a single winner.
Paddle wheel raffles.

				spinning wheel. The licensee spins the wheel at least one full revolution. The
				ticket that matches the number that the wheel stops on is the winning ticket.

(4) The licensee sells participants a single
				playing card or similar object. The card is then torn or cut in half and one
				half is placed in the drawing receptacle. The participant holds the other half
				until the drawing takes place. The holder of the matching half to that drawn is
				the winner.
