Official textakleg.govlast amended Aug 01, 2014

# (a)

A special-draw raffle is an activity in which the winner is determined by means other than drawing from a container. Permittees may conduct, without prior approval of the department, a rubber ducky raffle where the duckies are placed into a moving body of water all at once by a loader or other means and prizes are awarded based on the order in which rubber duckies cross the finish line. Permittees must obtain prior written approval of the department to conduct any other special draw contest. The department will not approve a special draw raffle unless it meets the standards set out in (b) of this section.

# (b)

The department will approve an application for a special-draw raffle only if

# (1)

the special-draw method of selecting the winner of the raffle involves random chance not subject to influence by the person conducting the raffle;

# (2)

participants are not able to place bets on the outcome of the special draw;

# (3)

only one prize is awarded for each special draw;

# (4)

the special-draw does not involve a casino-gaming device such as a number wheel, dice, or cards; and

# (5)

the proposed raffle is not contrary to the public interest.

# (c)

The department will not approve a special-draw contest if participants participate in the game by placing a token on one of a series of numbers or colors and the winner is selected by throwing a dart at a spinning wheel on which the same numbers or colors have been painted.

# (d)

The price of a raffle ticket may not exceed $100.
