1 way of doing it is to up the price and only sell 49 tickets then set a date on a sat and say the bonus ball number from the lotto is the winner no rigging

I cannot see it being illegal. It's just like buying a ticket for a prize draw.

baz....

the tickets would be very expensive to limit them to 49

£163 a ticket.....

kinda takes the cheapness out of it

gambling isn't illegal. but not just anyone can set up a 'lottery'. If i remember correctly you need to set a private company to hold the funds etc. and do it through that. You'll need to see a solicitor, so it's probably more effort and money than its worth to do 100% legit.

ok yes you need a licence for doing this how about this think i might have a crack at it
i have 49 xbox games all the same(NOT COPYS) called arx or something like that now if you buy 1 off me for £15 i will send to you 1 game and give you a number between 1 and 49 after i sell ALL 49 games and give every 1 a number i then set a date for the bonus ball on the lotto
then the 1 drawn is the winner of the corsa all other 48 losers are not lost alot as they still have a £30 game so every 1 is £££'s in and i get the price i want for the corsa and as the corsa was a free prize draw i dont need to get a licence for it
if i could get 49 users on here to have a crack at it i would do this with my corsa see pics in garage its only a 1.2 8v so not worth a great deal

would be very hard with a hight priced motor

I reckon it's a good idea, i'd buy a ticket @ £30

And Baz's idea is good, just go the pound shop if you wanna get round it that way.

"Buy this shit DVD for £30 and also get entered into a draw" kind thing.
