A raffle is any lottery, scheme or arrangement involving the distribution of prizes in which prize winners are determined by means which include an element of chance or a mixture of skill and chance.
A raffle usually involves the sale of tickets followed by a draw to determine the winners of certain pre-determined prizes. A prize includes anything of value or benefit.
Generally, a raffle must be approved by the Commission before the lottery can be advertised or conducted in the ACT.
A permit is not required where the total prize value of the raffle does not exceed $2,500, however certain conditions must be met when conducting an Exempt Lottery. These conditions are detailed in the Exempt Lotteries Information and Conditions sheet available on this website.
