Question: Bingo night where funds go to classrooms

We are plannig a bingo night where the classrooms compete for the winnings. The $ from the winning card holder goes to his/her classroom for use by the teacher. So, depending on the amount of players we have we will determine an amount for each game played which will go to the class. Teachers need to be present...at least that's what we are hoping for! Do we need a permit??

Bingo and raffle rules are set by the state you reside in. Generally, though, I would not expect you to need a permit if the participants do not take home winnings themselves. (I assume the $ would not be given to the teacher, but rather the teacher would be reimbursed for classroom expenses up to that amount.)
