I have a 500k home but only repo’s are selling, and need to move shortly. I’ve seen where people sell 5000, $100 raffle tickets and anything over market and fees goes to a charity. How do I do it, and what Legal boilerplate do I include? “Void where prohibited” covers most since many states and countries buy these on ebay. My state has a lottery so raffles are ok.

I am extremely interested in trying out the raffle at the Pantages for Wicked but I would like to know how it works and when is the best time to go so that I have the highest chance of getting tickets?

I own a townhouse, and the property value on it has come down considerably. I want to move, but it’s not a good idea to sell the house for such a low amount of money,and to have to compete with many other houses for sale in the area. My idea is to have a raffel, and sell tickets for a $100.00 until I reach the price I want for the house. So, I get the money I wanted out of the raffle and someone gets a house for a $100.00 dollars. Can this be done legally?

Raffle. Lottery. Pay money for a chance to win. What’s the real difference between a raffle and a lottery? Is there a difference? If you say “yes” then what is it? If you say “no” then why do we have two words?
And if you think a lottery is just for money, there was a “draft lottery” back in the 70’s. Also they hold lotteries for limited permits to raft the grand canyon.

Elly asked:


We were wondering if it was legal to have a raffle to raffle off our horse that we have been trying to sell for three years. We have tried everything to sell her. She’s in great health and is 12 yrs old.
We have tried lowering the price all the way down to $800, but then people think there is something wrong with her.
