This bill amends the regulations surrounding the sale of raffle tickets in conjunction with bingo games. Specifically, it removes the requirement for raffle tickets to be sold sequentially and increases the maximum price for a single ticket from $1 to $10. Additionally, it clarifies that raffle tickets can only be sold at bingo games operated by the charitable organization, without the previous stipulation that they must be sold by members of that organization.

Furthermore, the bill raises the maximum allowable wholesale cost for prizes awarded at these raffles from $500 to $1,200. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025. The fiscal note indicates that there will be no impact on state, county, or local revenue or expenditures, as the Lottery Commission does not oversee or collect fees related to these raffles.
