QUESTION
..
Second is there any rule that limits the number of tickets that can be purchased at any one time?
YES
but IT HAS TO BE FAIR.
5623.2 Standard of
conduct of games prescribed.
Every
licensed authorized organization shall so supervise, regulate and conduct
games of chance, in accordance with the Games of Chance Licensing Law and
this Chapter, so as to afford and ensure all players a fair opportunity to
win and to eliminate any influence which has or may have as its purpose the
predetermination or selection of any individual winner or winners, loser or
losers.
Be careful......by
limiting the number of tickets to be sold at one time to one player, you
COULD BE
involving one player against another
which cannot be done.
