§ 901.746. Prize awarding.
(a) A licensed eligible organization shall award raffle prizes on the dates indicated on the raffle ticket unless the licensed eligible organization approves a different date and purchasers of tickets are notified in writing. The dates of the drawing may be extended only if one of the following occurs:
(1) Weather or a state of emergency declared by the Governor has caused a postponement of the event at which the drawing was to occur.
(2) Not enough tickets are sold to cover the cost of the prizes and an extension will make a material difference.
(b) The fact that a desired level of profit will not be obtained is not a basis for an extension of the date of the drawing.
(c) If a raffle prize remains unclaimed by the winner for 90 days following the date of the raffle drawing and the licensed eligible organization has made a good faith effort to contact the winner by means of telephone and registered mail, for redemption of the prize, the licensed eligible organization may retain the prize or award it in another game of chance. A record of the attempted contact shall be maintained for a minimum of 2 years.
