Sec. 3. (a) A random number generator must reside on a program storage device secured in the logic board of the system. The numbers selected by the random number generator for each drawing shall be stored in the system's memory and be capable of being output to produce a winning number. The use of a random number generator results in the selection of raffle outcomes where the selection must:

(1) be statistically independent;

(2) conform to the desired random distribution;

(3) pass industry-standard recognized statistical tests, as chosen by the independent gaming laboratory; and

(4) be unpredictable.

(b) The winning number selection may only be produced from sold ticket numbers from the current drawing to be available for selection as follows:

(1) Valid, sold raffle numbers must be available for random selection at the beginning of each drawing.

(2) For raffles that offer multiple awards or drawings with separate buy-ins for each raffle, the winning number selection may only be produced from sold ticket numbers corresponding with an applicable award or drawing. As winning numbers are drawn, they must be immediately used as governed by the rules of the raffle.

(c) An electronic raffle system must use appropriate protocols to protect the random number generator and random selection process from influence by associated equipment, which may be communicating with the electronic raffle system.

(d) A raffle drawing may be held at a date, time, and place stated on the qualified organization's license or notice of exempt event. The raffle drawing shall be conducted under IC 4-32.3-5-24.5(d) and be administered by an operator of the charitable organization. A raffle drawing may only be conducted after the:

(1) close of the raffle; and

(2) sales and voided sales for the particular raffle purchase period have been reconciled.

(e) A qualified organization shall conduct an electronic or other approved draw procedure that ensures a randomly selected draw number as a winner from all tickets sold. Each drawn number must be verified as a sold and valid ticket. This process is repeated for each advertised prize.
