An Act To Support Nonprofit Organizations By Authorizing The Operation Of Electronic Lucky Seven Devices And Similar Sealed Ticket Games

This bill authorizes Maine nonprofit organizations to operate electronic "Lucky Seven" devices for fundraising, replacing physical sealed-ticket games. It defines these devices as machines that display virtual tickets (not dispensing cash) and requires nonprofits to obtain licenses from the Gambling Control Unit ($200 per game, $50 per device annually). The law specifically allows these electronic games to be used during fundraising events, with operators required to be 18+ and display valid licenses. It directly affects nonprofits that currently use physical "Lucky Seven" or similar sealed-ticket games for charitable fundraising.
