Are raffle tickets sold by charitable organizations in Virginia required to have date, time of drawing printed on them
<p>some raffle tickets have &quot;drawing when all tickets are sold&quot; printed on them.  No time, date or place of drawing.</p>

<p>Virginia code <a href="https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter8/section18.2-340.19/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">section § 18.2-340.19.</a> authorizes the the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to adopt regulations covering &quot;charitable gambling&quot; which includes raffles. Those regulations may be found at <a href="https://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/pdf/Charitable%20Gaming%20Regulations.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/pdf/Charitable%20Gaming%20Regulations.pdf</a></p>
<p>Regulation 11VAC15‐40‐80. (Recordkeeping) Section C provides that:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>C. All raffle tickets shall have a detachable section; be consecutively numbered with the detachable section having the same number; provide space for the purchaser's name, complete address, and telephone number; and state (i) the name and address of the organization; (ii) the prize or prizes to be awarded; (iii) the date, time and location of the prize drawing; (iv) the
selling price of the ticket; and (v) the charitable gaming permit number. Winning tickets and unsold tickets shall be maintained for a minimum of three years from the close of the fiscal year.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So it would seem that raffle tickets are supposed to include &quot;the date, time and location of the prize drawing&quot;.</p>
