...or has ever knew 'the winner'? Are these things complete scams?

Also, what's up with adults selling raffle tickets to fund their hobby? Saw a guy selling some about a month ago to fund his BBQ team to go to some out of state cook off, then just had some guy at work ask me to buy a $25 raffle ticket for a chance at winning a boat to fund him going to some big tournament. Grow up and pay for your own shite!

I'll buy one from a kid. Still feels like a scam tho.

I won a 50qt yeti cooler off of a raffle ticket. Would never purchase one of those things (Igloos work just fine), but a $5 raffle ticket wasn't a bad asking price

I always wonder what the parameters need to be to make this legal. Would be a decent little side hustle to sell a hundred or so $10 raffle tickets and have the winner win an ipad or some shite.

I've won a couple and my mom has won a bunch too.

I would say most aren't scams.

My dad had a girlfriend who won a trip to Disney World. So that was pretty cool.

Last summer I won a $100 tattoo gift certificate in a raffle during a American Cruisers MC charity ride.

Not necessarily a raffle ticket but 3 years ago a motorcycle magazine I subscribed to had a bike built with the intent of drawing one of there 8000+ subscribers to win. The drawing was to take place at a huge motorcycle show they were putting on in North Carolina, my name was drawn however you had to be present to win, so they continued drawing until someone was actually there. What was shitty was the drawing was in July, the next month I attended a show put on by the same magazine in Sturgis completely oblivious to what had happened. It wasn't until the September issue that they did a writeup on the July show that I knew what even happened. Had they done the raffle at Sturgis I would have won. I ended up emailing them and they were cool about it, ended up sending me a bunch of T shirts, a jacket and hoodie, and a few DVDs.
