What does it do?
- A person or organisation that wants to run a lottery must apply for government approval to the Ministry of Home Affairs through the local Chief District Officer, using the form in the Schedule and attaching two sample tickets. The Chief District Officer must look into the application and forward it with an opinion, and the Ministry may then grant permission. For a lottery drawn only at a public exhibition ground, club or society, the Chief District Officer may grant permission directly.चिठ्ठा खोल्न चाहने व्यक्ति वा संस्थाले नेपाल सरकारको स्वीकृतिका लागि चिठ्ठाको दुई प्रति नमूनासहित अनुसूचीको ढाँचामा स्थानीय प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारीमार्फत गृह मन्त्रालयमा निवेदन दिनुपर्छ। प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारीले आवश्यक जाँचबुझ गरी आफ्नो मन्तव्यसहित निवेदन मन्त्रालयमा पठाउनुपर्छ र मन्त्रालयले चिठ्ठा खोल्ने अनुमति दिन सक्छ। सार्वजनिक प्रदर्शनीस्थल, क्लब वा सोसाइटीजस्तो ठाउँमा मात्र खोलिने चिठ्ठाका लागि भने प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारीले नै अनुमति दिन सक्छन्। Nepal Law Commission Rule 3(1)-(4) and Schedule, PDF pp. 1, 3
- If prizes have to be changed, the organiser must tell the Chief District Officer within seven days of ticket sales closing, and before the draw, how many tickets were sold and unsold and the proportionate prize amounts.

The Chief District Officer sends an officer, with staff, to oversee the draw.चिठ्ठाको पुरस्कारमा हेरफेर गर्नुपरेमा चिठ्ठा खोल्न चाहने व्यक्ति वा संस्थाले बिक्री बन्द भएको सात दिनभित्र र चिठ्ठा खोल्नुअगावै बिक्री भएका र बिक्री हुन बाँकी चिठ्ठाको लगत तथा दामासाहीले पाउने पुरस्कारको परिमाणसहित स्थानीय प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारीलाई सूचना दिनुपर्छ। चिठ्ठामा तोकिएको मिति वा स्थान परिवर्तन गर्न प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारीको स्वीकृति चाहिन्छ। चिठ्ठा खोल्ने बेला प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारीले एक जना अधिकृत र सहयोगी कर्मचारी खटाउँछन्। Nepal Law Commission Rules 4, 6 and 7, PDF p. 2
