In order for a non-profit organization to hold a raffle, they must apply for a raffle permit with the Town Clerk, which is then sent to the Mass State Lottery Commission and Attorney General's Office, if approved by the Chief of Police. Raffle permits are issued annually, with an annual report required as well. Raffle permit applications must be filed with the Town Clerk in person at Town Hall.
