Continuation Raffle
A “continuation raffle” allows an organization to conduct raffles where the winner(s) advance to a subsequent raffle drawing until the final winners are determined.
- Ticket sales must stop after the initial drawing.
- There is no additional cost for players beyond the initial ticket cost.
- The raffle must be concluded within 12 months.
For example, raffle drawings are held on four consecutive Sunday nights:
- On July 12, the organization conducts the first round drawing. Thirty $20 winners are drawn who also then advance to the next round.
- On July 19, a 2nd round drawing is held with ten $50 winners who then also advance to the next round.
- On July 26, a 3rd round is held with three $100 winners advancing to the final round.
- On August 2, a final round is held at the community festival, with prizes of $100, $500, and $1,000.
Continuation raffle reporting:
- Report gross receipts and all prizes to be awarded for the raffle ($3,000) in the month of the initial drawing (July).
- Report all gross receipts and prizes on the LG100A, Receipts and Expenses by Site, for the site where the initial drawing was held.
- The value of prizes reported, but not yet awarded by the end of July ($1,600) are entered on the July LG100F Lawful Gambling Fund Reconciliation form, Line 17.
- In August, when the final round prizes are awarded, the $1,600 reconciling item is removed.
