Okay, I'll play!

It's a creative idea and I try to support them whenever I can.

I'll go for it. What is it for? A charity of some sort?

Just a curious way to sell it? It seems interesting enough, is the tank empty currently?

Neat idea but it's not legal in Canada unless you're a registered charitable organization...better check it out before you land yourself in a legal hot bed.

its just a my way of selling it, it doesnt have to be a raffle per se but none the less there will be a winner in the end of the day

How will the draw process work?
How will a winner be chosen sans bias?

It is only illegal if you are using the name of a charity and are going to make profit over and above the item cost being raffled off. I should know as I am on the executive committee for Alberta Ride For Sight. And besides is someone really going to narc on thekid.

the raffle would work like this;

people buy as many tickets as they want, i keep tickets with the same number as they were bought, for every ticket i record who the ticket buyer details are.
I leave it open for a month. On a weekend i invite people over to my house for the draw and i take a ticket out of a bucket or box and if the winner is at my house they can take it then or at a time that works for both of us or if they are not present i will search the ticket number in my book and contact the person directly, if there is no response in 2 weeks i will pull another ticket and contact the winner, with spectators

You think so...It's quite simply all about CYA (Cover Your A$$), this is being posted on an open, public forum. The rules for these events are regulated povincially so IME it's better to make sure you are aware of the laws of the land before moving foward.

You can call it whatever you want but either way it is still legally considered a game of chance.
