It’s only for site members right, not open to the public/facebookers?

Just same as the hardship raffle I reckon.
Blow this thread, stick it in serious matters so only members are savvy.

How about you do what all the daytime TV shows do with their giveaways - even though you only get a chance of winning, which feels like a lottery, it technically isn’t because you have to answer a question to be entered. Not a game of chance, a game of skill!

What is the capital of France? A) Paris B) Scunthorpe C) A teapot

yeah, just stick it in the members’ lounge. anyone caught grassing it up to the taxman gets 50 eggs thrown at their house and a 6 month ban.

It’ll make winning even sweeter if I know my prize is contraband.

This. I’m more likely to take part if it’s illegal.

Was planning to plough on with my sweepstake and plead ignorance but guess I cant now.

Having a look i dont think it can be easily done as the potential exemptions dont really apply

  • incidental lottery - looks to need to be linked to a physical event
  • private society lottery - dont think DiS is an established society under the rules.

But happy to be proven wrong.

Just get everyone to write “am no a grass” on a piece of paper and take a selfie with it

Could we not do it in the same way as the raffle for the hardship fund but then the hardship fund awards Sean a sum of money that is coincidentally the same as the money raised from the raffle?

Everyone who entered the HGATR Christmas raffle will now be arrested it seems.

do the police look into this sort of stuff? reckon you can do quite a lot of crime, they’re not bothered usually.

Can’t we do it as a Crowdfunder like the #ILoveLive thing?
