veterans' hospital, amateur athletic or charitable organization
or corporation, provided that no individual or group of
individuals shall benefit financially from the holding of any
such bazaar, carnival or raffle or shall receive or be paid any
of the proceeds from any such carnival, bazaar or raffle, for
personal use or benefit. At such carnival, bazaar or raffle, it
shall be lawful to award prizes to any individual in merchandise
and cash in any amount in Baltimore County and Baltimore City in
any one game or spin by such devices as are commonly designated
as paddle wheels or wheels of fortune. In Baltimore County and

and cash up to any amount, but no one organization in Baltimore
County shall conduct more than two (2) raffles in any one
calendar year and no organizations in Baltimore City may conduct
more than 12 raffles in any calendar year. As used herein, the
