The reference to "[a] qualified organization conducting a raffle" awarding
prizes is added for clarity.
The reference to a "money" prize is substituted for the former reference to
a "cash" prize for consistency within this title.
The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, that the Prince George's Department of
Environmental Resources, which issues raffle permits, interprets the
limits of this section to mean a combination of merchandise and cash not
exceeding $5,000.
