Rules & Procedure for Ticket Sales:

1)     Tickets can be sold to ANYONE! Sell them to fellow Members, Non-Members, anyone who wants to purchase one can.

2)     When selling a ticket, your Lodge can collect payments in any way you feel fit, cash, check, Venmo payments, etc. These payments must be deposited into your Lodge Account.

3)     IF ticket is being paid by a check by the purchaser, the check MUST be made out to YOUR LODGE NAME and deposited into your Lodge Account.

4)     On the ticket stub, be sure the purchaser writes their full contact info CLEARLY as winners will be mailed a check to their address listed.

5)     After the purchaser fills out the ticket stub, separate the stub from the calendar portion. The purchaser keeps the top calendar portion, and YOU, the Lodge, MUST keep the bottom stub portion (these stubs will be received by one of your District’s State Trustees later.)

6)    The Spreadsheet of Ticket Numbers that was given to you is used for your Lodge and your State Trustee to mark what is being returned when the State Trustee picks up the stubs and checks.

7)     One of your District’s State Trustees will be in contact with your Lodge to check-in on how sales are going, and to collect the current number of stubs that you sold. At this time, the State Trustee will also want to collect a check from your Lodge for the amount of stubs they are picking up (Example: if your Lodge is turning in 30 stubs, a check for $600 must also be turned in. THIS CHECK MUST BE MADE OUT TO “MA ELKS ASSOCIATION.”

8)      The State Trustees will be planning on collecting sold stubs and respective checks on 3 separate occasions, around October 1st, November 1st, and final collection at the beginning of December.

9)     All tickets MUST BE SOLD by 12/1/2025, however, if you think your Lodge will not be able to sell all your tickets, PLEASE let your State Trustee know as soon as possible, so that they can get those extra tickets to a Lodge that needs more to sell.

10)     If your Lodge sells all 100 tickets that were given to you and you believe that your Lodge can sell more, PLEASE let your State Trustee know ASAP!

11)      If you ever have any questions, please contact one of your State Trustees. They are ready and willing to help you!
