Gee, doesn't that sound just like the Gubbermint?  You can do it if you call
it something else.

with the Gubbermint about "raffles". They can hold them now, but they must
call them "opportunity drawings" and give a free ticket to anyone who
requests one. Nobody ever does and they do not advertise that option, but
those are the rules. Rule #1 is do not use the "R" Word.
