The SIKKIM LOTTERY (PROHIBITION ON RUNNING OF AND SALE OF SINGLE DIGIT AND PRIVATE LOTTERY TICKETS) ACT, 1993

The Sikkim Lotteries (Prohibition on Running of and Sale of Single Digit and Private Lottery Tickets) Act, 1993, is a legislative measure designed to curb specific forms of gambling within the state of Sikkim. It explicitly prohibits the operation, sale, and distribution of "single digit" lotteries and "private" lotteries, regardless of whether they are organized within or outside the state. The Act aims to protect the public from unregulated gambling schemes. However, it provides a specific exemption allowing the government to authorize registered societies or institutions to conduct raffles or lucky draws for charitable, educational, or social causes.
