[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1248566, member: 4362"] I've been thinking about this a bit and wonder if this isn't a legal way to get around the raffle ticket law. Pretty ingenious if it works. You see a friend of mine moved from here and he was having a hard time selling his house. Our town raffled off a commercial building for a $100 ticket and I told him he should try that. Who wouldn't want to take a chance on buying a $300 ticket for a chance at a $120,000 home when the odds are 1:400. I suggested he have a third party hold the money - the bank - and we have a big BBQ the day of the drawing and do one of those reverse drawings like the Catholic Church likes to do. He liked the idea and he got an attorney to help draw things up where it would be all above board and all then was told it was illegal to do this because only the government or the Church can sponsor gambling events like this in Georgia. (yeah, the Church part does sound odd to me too) Anyway, I wonder if this is not his way of getting out from under the note and skirting the law. [/QUOTE]
