At Dakota Jackpots, transparency isn’t a buzzword — it’s the foundation of how we operate.
From the moment a ticket is purchased to the moment a winner is selected, our goal is to make every step clear, verifiable, and open to public view.
Clear Numbers. Clear Records.
Every player receives their unique raffle numbers by email immediately after purchase.
Those numbers are securely recorded in our system and cannot be altered, duplicated, or reassigned.
Players can:
Review their numbers anytime in their email receipt
Match their numbers against the live or recorded drawing
Save confirmations for their personal records
No mystery. No guesswork.
Watch the Drawing — Live or On Replay
All drawings are conducted either live or streamed/recorded, depending on the raffle format.
Players are encouraged to:
Watch the drawing in real time when live
View the recorded stream afterward if they can’t attend
See exactly how winners are selected
Transparency You Can See
Whether the drawing uses dice, balls, automated selection, or other approved methods, the process is visible and repeatable — so you don’t have to “take our word for it.”
Real-Time Visibility for Nonprofits
Every participating nonprofit is provided access to a secure dashboard portal.
Through this portal, nonprofits can:
Track ticket sales live and in real time
See gross sales, prize allocations, and their net share
Monitor activity throughout the raffle period
Access records needed for internal reporting and reconciliation
This ensures nonprofits have the same level of visibility as the platform itself — no delays, no blind spots.
Where the Money Goes
Dakota Jackpots exists to support South Dakota nonprofits, and we take that responsibility seriously.
As we grow, we intend to file and publish financial summaries and reports so players, partners, and nonprofits can see:
Total ticket sales
Prize payouts
Platform and administrative costs
Funds distributed to participating nonprofits
Our goal is simple:
Players and partners should be able to feel confident that funds are reaching their intended nonprofits.
Built for Trust
We believe fundraising works best when it’s:
Open instead of opaque
Documented instead of assumed
Visible instead of hidden
Transparency protects players, nonprofits, and the integrity of every drawing we host.
If you ever have questions about how a drawing works, how numbers are assigned, or how funds are distributed, we welcome the conversation. Trust is earned — and we’re committed to earning it, one drawing at a time.
