A lottery is a plan or scheme for disposing of a prize (money or something of value) predominantly by chance to people who have paid something of value for the opportunity of getting the prize.
Except for the state-run lottery and certain charitable bingo games,lotteries are illegal in California.
A lottery is composed of three elements:
•A prize (for example, money, an automobile, a vacation, or the right to play a free game)
•Payment of consideration to be eligible to win a prize (for example, 25 cents in exchange for a bingo card, or the purchase of a product sold by the sponsoring company)
•Distribution of the prize by chance
If one of these three elements is missing, then the scheme is not a ottery.
Carefully read the entry blank and all the promotional material. Sometimes, the entry blank is designed so that when you fill ou tthe entry, you are also ordering a product or service. Remember, you don’t have to order anything in order to enter a sweepstake and have a chance to win a prize.
