Currently, Massachusetts has no law that allows raffle ticket sales over the Internet. Under 940 CMR 12.04(2), both the raffle ticket seller and purchaser must sign the raffle ticket. In addition, raffle activity conducted online may implicate both federal and state laws and some states expressly prohibit it. Organizations wishing to hold online raffles should consult an attorney who can provide guidance on all legal requirements before conducting an online raffle.
