Higher price and prize caps for raffles

Beginning July 1, 2025, New Hampshire raises the price cap for bingo-related raffle tickets from $1 to $10 per ticket or group. The prize cap rises from $500 to $1,200, measured by wholesale cost. Tickets must have numbers, but the numbers no longer need to be in order. People who are not charity members can sell tickets. Sales must take place at bingo games run by that charity.
