Definition of a Raffle
In Illinois, a raffle is legally defined as a form of lottery where individuals pay for a chance to win a prize, with the winning chance determined by a random drawing or other method based on chance, but not by the outcome of a publicly exhibited sporting event.
In a raffle, it is important to note that the prize is rewarded due to chance or luck. No skill or adequate level of performance is needed.
