Important Notice Regarding Raffle Ticket Submissions
Off Premise Merchandise and Off Premise Cash Raffles require a sample ticket. Please use the sample ticket provided by the LGCCC to ensure that the ticket has all the necessary information required.
Please do not reuse or alter an old raffle ticket from a previous event. Submitting a previously issued ticket with updated information is the most common reason raffle applications are rejected by the state.
To ensure your application is accepted, always create a new, original ticket using the sample from the State for each raffle.
You may download all the necessary applications/forms/sample tickets from the Legalized Games website - LGCCC
Applications are then sent to the State LGCCC for their approval whereby they have 14 days to approve or disapprove said application. If the Applicant owes the State any additional monies, the State will notify the Applicant for any monies in arrears with a copy to the Township Clerk's Office. The applications are forwarded as follows.
1. LGCCC - for their review, records and approval.
2. Lacey Township Police Department - Record keeping and police checks.
3. Applicant - For their records and their Gaming License will be attached for public display.
4. Clerk's Office Copy - For Township records and follow-up purposes if necessitated by any concerned party.
Applicants can also request an application for this license from the Township Clerk's Office. Allow at least 4 weeks for processing, as each event has to be processed through the Municipal Clerk's office and approved by the State LGCCC.
