Raffle/Drawing Question...

[positiveprofits]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Oregon.

My question is this:

I have a time share that I'd like to use as a prize
in a drawing or raffle. I'd like to sell x amount of
chances to win for x amount of dollars.

The winner will receive one week free at my time share
resort.

How can I word this, or how should I "put" this?

I run an internet business and have a large list
I'd be sending this offer to, so I guess it concerns
Internet Laws too.

Any help anyone can give will be very much
appreciated!

Thanks,

Lisa Sorensen

You can't "word" it any way.
It's illegal. You can run lotteries / raffles as a private enterprise. Certain charities are allowed to do so with great restriction (it takes a permit from the state).

As for your so-called "internet" business, you better hope that is a list of people who want to receive your illegal solicitation (especially if any are in your ajoining state of Washington), unless you want to lose your ISP and a bunch of civil actions for spamming.
