Whats the laws on making raffle tickets for charities or groups?
I know that gambling is illegal... eg. sporting bets (booky's), back door casinos etc.

But what if a organization say a church, wants to realize money for something?
Are they allowed to make a raffle selling tickets for a draw to win some sort of prizE?

No matter how small or low key the raffle event, a license is required for any raffle or lottery scheme that is based on chance rather than skill.
