Charitable, fraternal and religious organizations which are
located within the City and which comply with the provisions of all
other applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited
to, ORS 465.100 may engage in bingo or lotto when no person other
than the organization or a player profits in any manner from the operation
of the lottery.
means a game played with cards bearing lines of numbers,
in which a player covers or uncovers a number selected from a container,
and which is won by a player who is present during the game and who
first covers or uncovers the selected numbers in a designated combination,
sequence or pattern.
as used in this section, means any person or persons organized
and existing for charitable, benevolent, eleemosynary, humane, patriotic,
religious, philanthropic, recreational, social, educational, civic,
fraternal or other nonprofit purposes, and who is also exempt from
payment of federal income taxes because of its charitable, fraternal
or religious purposes. The fact that contributions to an organization
profiting from the contest do not qualify for charitable deductions
for tax purposes or that the organization is not otherwise exempt
from payment of federal income taxes pursuant to the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, as amended, constitutes prima facie evidence that the
organization is not a bona fide charitable, fraternal or religious
organization.
