    Is raffling your car in Facebook legal?

    Basically selling numbers up to 45 and basing it on a lotto draw?

    A brief guide
    Public Lotteries
    You may not be able to class your raffle under the heading ‘Private Lotteries’ for example, if you are
    mailing out tickets to individuals in the post, if you are advertising the raffle to customers, or if the value
    of the prizes will be more than €4,000.
    In this case, you will need to apply for a licence to the District Court for the area in which the lottery
    will be held. This can be done on any given Wednesday. An individual from the organisation would
    need to act as the license holder on the license application, and comply with the regulations of
    the Gaming and Lotteries Act, 1956. The total value of the prizes must not exceed €20,000 to be
    awarded in any one week but an amount greater than this could be awarded at intervals.
    Prior to filing with the District Court, you must notify the Gardai 28 days in advance of the license
    application. This notice period is absolutely necessary.
    The Association of Charity Lotteries in Ireland (ACLI), a forum for Irish charitable organisations who
    depend on the running of lotteries as a means of fundraising, have developed a Code of Practice to
    promote standards of good practice for the operation of charity lotteries in Ireland. All members of ACLI
    have signed up to this Code of Practice and promote their lotteries in accordance with the Code.
