Lottery Licence

The Municipal Clerk's office issues Lottery Licences to eligible charitable organizations for Bingo, Break-Open tickets, Raffles, and other lottery events. Lottery Licences are required if money is paid for a chance to win a prize.

A lottery event has the following three components:

• a prize
• a chance to win the prize and
• a fee

The issuing of lottery licences is regulated through the Town of Cobourg's Lottery Licensing By-law.
