Paper raffle stubs could be thing of the past

Under current state law, stubs from purchased raffle tickets are put into a container and winners are hand-drawn. HF3102 would allow for numbers to be electronically selected. Sponsored by Rep. Chris Swedzinski (R-Ghent), the bill making small changes to the gambling statutes, passed the House 126-0 on Monday.

It now moves to the Senate with Sen. Dan Sparks (DFL-Austin) as the sponsor.

The bill also modifies bingo prize limits from $200 to $500; shortens the length of time a person must be with an organization before being named a gambling manager; and requires local jurisdictions receiving 10 percent of gambling net profits for charitable purpose to publicly acknowledge the source of the funds.
