Ticket Records
12. Why do I have to keep a distribution record?
We are required by the BC Gaming and Enforcement Branch to maintain records for all tickets, whether
sold or unsold. Additionally, these Ticket Seller Distribution Records will serve as the official record to
determine the winners for the Fastest Sales by a Club, District or Region. If a booklet is lost, your Ticket
Seller Distribution Record will be a vital record of purchased tickets for that booklet. This way we may
still enter the names and contact information of those that have purchased tickets, into the draw, even if
you cannot locate your booklet. Please note you are responsible for payment of sold tickets.
Posters
13. Where do I get more posters?
Posters will be included with each ticket order, make copies as you need them (please do not create your
own poster). If you receive both green and yellow tickets please ensure you display the corresponding
poster which has the correct B.C. Gaming Event Licence Number for the tickets you are selling. [i.e. Green
Tickets are #68419 and Yellow tickets are #68420]. If you are selling both sets of tickets you must display
both posters.
