Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an organization with a Class B raffle license may conduct
a multiple-container raffle or a plastic and rubber duck race as long as the winner
in the raffle or race is determined by a drawing with all tickets having an equal
opportunity to win. This bill allows an organization with a Class B raffle license to
conduct a paddlewheel raffle. Under this bill, a paddlewheel raffle is a raffle in which
a paddlewheel, a manually operated, mechanical, vertical wheel that is marked off
into sections containing numbers or descriptions of items, after being spun, indicates
with a pointer or marker a winning number or prize item on the wheel.
Under the bill, the organization conducting the raffle must comply with certain
requirements, including that the organization must determine the winning number
or prize by the position of the pointer when the vertical wheel stops spinning. If the
pointer stops on top of a peg, the number or prize item preceding the peg is the
winning number or item.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
