vr6storm 0 Posted October 4, 2005 depends also on it condition :wink: ...............and of course for that same £20,you can enter one of those airport car competitions..........£20 is the ticket for their latest one with a choice of Elise or Boxster as prize Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted October 4, 2005 No. What are the odds that a friend of the seller mysteriously happens to buy the winning ticket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted October 4, 2005 lets say,250 tickets? condition wise,its mine so id say its near mint. :D 1 of only 28 within the uk in black too. as for a friend winning,i wouldnt risk the hassle and grief,but i suppose people would doubt the authenticity?

billinjah 0 Posted October 4, 2005 but i suppose people would doubt the authenticity? always gonna happen unles you get it externally verified (££££) there was a piece on the radio about a house raffle and the vendor did a runner! if it is as you describe it will sell well cabs seem to be having a bit of a comeback atm!

Jim 2 Posted October 5, 2005 I'd stick in £20 for a chance to win it I reckon, provided it was all kosher and you did genuinely just pull the names out of a hat! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Musicman 0 Posted October 5, 2005 I suspect one issue you would need to address is not falling foul of one of the Lotteries and Gaming Acts, notably the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976. If it's purely a random draw, you might have problems in this respect. Here are the DCMS guidance notes on the subject. http://www.culture.gov.uk/gambling_and_ ... teries.htm I suspect that what you're proposing falls into none of the available categories and may be illegal, particularly given the value of the item you're raffling. I'm not a lawyer, so don't take my word on it though :) Your local council might be in a position to advise you. If there's an element of skill involved (a simple question or something like 'spot the ball') then it's a different category entirely - a 'prize competition', which is why all those stupidly simple multiple choice competitions appear on TV. P.S. I think this is how those 'Win a Porsche' draws at airports get past lottery legislation - they have a qualifying question or subsidiary skill component alongside the draw.
