Do I need a licence if we are having a Lottery, Raffle, Tombola etc with Alcohol as a Prize?
Lotteries, raffles and tombolas with alcohol as a prize are exempt from licensing provided the following conditions are met:
- The lottery is promoted as part of a bazaar, sale of work, fete, dinner, dance, sporting or athletic event or other entertainment of a similar character
- None of the financial proceeds (after the deduction of relevant expenses) are used for private gain
- None of the prizes are money prizes
- Tickets are sold or issued and the result of the draw is announced at the time of (and in the same place) as the entertainment
- The lottery is not the main reason to attend the event
- The alcohol is in a sealed container
