Limited Tickets
Dakota Raffle
is played only in South Dakota. Tickets are available only from South
Dakota Lottery retailers licensed to sell lotto tickets.
Each ticket
costs $10.
There are only
100,000 tickets available. Each ticket has a unique eight-digit number,
ranging from 00000001 to 00100000. There are no duplicates.
Only one
raffle number will be printed on each ticket. Tickets are sold
statewide. As a result, a player who buys more than one ticket at
a time may not get tickets in numeric order
In
addition to quick pick numbers, a player may choose his or her
raffle number on a first come first served basis. No player has any
claim to a specific number beyond first request. To ensure
accuracy, write the number down on paper for the clerk (stores will
even have a special note pad). The retailer and the Lottery are not
responsible or liable for any mismatch of numbers requested by the
player and those appearing on the ticket.
A ticket
cannot be canceled or replaced. All sales are final. Be sure to sign
the back of your ticket. Keep it in a safe place and do not lose it.
Limited Time
Tickets go on sale at 6:00 a.m. (CT) on
September 30, 2007 and will end when the last ticket is sold or at
11:00 p.m. (CT) on December 30, 2007, whichever comes first.
The winning numbers will be drawn at
2:00 p.m. (CT) on December 31, 2007.
The drawing date may occur earlier if
tickets sell out quickly. Any change in date will be publicly
announced.
Note: Tickets
purchased on Sept. 30 and early Oct. 1 incorrectly note the draw date at
the bottom of the ticket as Dec. 30. The drawing is scheduled for Dec.
31. The error on the ticket does not affect in any way the chances or
ability to win in the drawing. The Lottery apologizes for any
confusion.
Winning
Numbers
