These uses are described by North Dakota Century Code 9 53-06.1-11.1(2) and North Dakota Administrative Code 999-01.3-14.Q2. Refer to the backside of the "Report on a Charity Local Permit" form for a general list of eligible uses. For a charity local permit, one method to ensure that the total of all cash prizes and retail value of all merchandise prizes do not exceed $12,000 is to charge each player a standard amount at the start of the event for a certain number or value of chips. If a player loses all of the player's chips, the player may re-buy chips. The player would play games and, at the end of the event, the organization would auction merchandise prizes to the players. The player who bid the highest number or value of chips for a prize would win that prize. For those players who have chips but did not successfully bid on a prize, the organization may redeem the chips for a predetermined cash value per chip. For this method, the value of players' chips redeemed for cash is not a prize. INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE PREPRINTED ON A STANDARD RAFFLE TICKET: 1 . Name of organization; 2. Ticket number; 3.
