Best Answer

No. Technically raffles of any kind for any reason, charitable or otherwise, are illegal in Alabama.

Now its not like Alabama enforces this on any huge scale for things like church bake sales/raffles, but you get into things with large dollar amounts like cars and real estate and they could very well take an interest in your operation.

Can a Non Profit tell it's volunteers they cannot participate in a raffle?

It is fairly obvious to understand WHY the non-profit would prefer that they not buy tickets . . . because if one of their own volunteers should win the prize the organization might be open to the charge that the raffle was somehow "fixed." However, if they are only volunteers, and not paid employees, the non-profit cannot legally control their actions. If participating in the raffle is THAT important to them, and they are that incensed about it, they can quit donating their time and services and buy a raffle ticket instead.


Can you raffle realestate?

Yes in many case it is possible to raffle real estate. You must check with laws that pertain to your area to find out for certain.In most cases a raffle must benefit a charity. The laws governing raffles and any "game of chance" very by state, and sometimes by county or city. In other words, first look up the state laws, (if you live in the US) then contact your local government to see if there are additional restrictions before proceeding with any raffle, house or otherwise.For charities who have the ability to plan and execute a fundraiser of that scope, a house raffle could be a viable way to raise money. But for home owners who would like to sell their home, in 99% of cases, a house raffle is just not an option.
