Raffle Contests

Additionally, any raffle conducted by a nonprofit organization must be publicly identified as a charitable raffle, and the entity conducting the raffle must maintain records of the total proceeds collected, a detailed description of the prize(s) awarded, a description of the selection process used to determine the winner(s), a record reflecting the source of the prize(s), including any money paid to purchase prizes, a record of any administrative costs paid with raffle proceeds, a description of how the raffle was publicly identified as a charitable raffle, where applicable, the name and address of the person(s) awarded raffle prize(s), and a detailed record of the distribution of the charitable raffle proceeds, where applicable [1.2].

Other Contests

If the contest is not a raffle, there do not appear to be any specific regulations in Montana. However, it is important to ensure that the contest complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including those related to advertising, privacy, and consumer protection.

It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that your contest complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
