Lottery Exceptions

Answered by:

Question:

Now that banks can participate in lotteries, can we facilitate raffles unrelated to the bank for local service groups- post lobby posters or sell tickets for or be a sponsor, etc.?

Answer:

The American Savings Promotion Act has carved some exceptions into the rules prohibiting participation in a lottery. These are limited and do not expand to causes outside the bank.
