Can I offer contests that involve a single game or event in South Dakota? What are the requirements?

Based on the documents provided, it appears that contests involving a single game or event are not explicitly addressed in South Dakota’s lottery laws and regulations. However, the state does allow for raffle games ^[1.1], participation in national lottery games such as Lotto America ^[2.1], Mega Millions ^[3.1], and Hot Lotto ^[4.1], and video lottery machines ^[5.1][5.2].

To determine the requirements for offering contests involving a single game or event in South Dakota, it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional or contact the South Dakota Lottery Commission directly.

Please note that prize payment and validation requirements are outlined in SDAR 48:03:14:06 ^[1.2], and there are restrictions on who can purchase lottery tickets or receive prizes ^[5.4].

In summary, while the documents provided do not explicitly address contests involving a single game or event, it is recommended that you seek legal advice or contact the South Dakota Lottery Commission for guidance.
