Non-money lotteries

Non-money prize lotteries, also called raffles, are a form of lottery in which participants can win goods or gift cards in a draw or in some other way, but always based on chance. To participate in a non-money prize lottery, you will pay a charge which may be a direct payment of money or an indirect payment, for example an admission fee.

Gift cards or vouchers that can be won in non-money prize lotteries must not be exchangeable for money.

You can find more information on different types of lotteries on these pages.
