Raffle is a lottery game with a limited number of tickets that awards
prizes to bet-ticket holders exactly matching a raffle play to the unique
numbers randomly selected in the raffle drawing that represent a winning
play. A purchaser requests a raffle bet ticket from a lottery sales agent.
Each raffle bet ticket contains a unique number, which is assigned by the
central gaming system. During the raffle drawing, winning plays are
selected from a pool of all purchased raffle plays for a specified drawing.
Raffle-game winning plays shall be selected at random, with the aid of
drawing equipment pursuant to the controls and methods established for
the game. A unique raffle number can be selected only once during the
raffle drawing. Each unique raffle number on a bet ticket purchased shall
constitute a single play. A raffle bet ticket shall contain no more than one
raffle play. A purchaser shall not select specific raffle numbers. Numbers
shall be generated in an order based on instruction by the commission and
produced by the central gaming system.
