The prize is a free luxury home
Im project managing things...
And unofficially taking backhanders!!

Anyone willing to PX a Lambo/Similar for a few lines of web code?
Make me an offer I cant refuse

Got legal advice?

Lotteries are illegal. You'll end up in jail.

Been there, tried that. Gaming commission didn't like the idea.

Go see best of the best.

By "we" I meant on behalf of a paying client.
Who lives overseas, and isnt under british gubbermint legislation.

Im the poor web guy.
I usually just work for second hand clothing and scraps of food...
I just want a Lambo

If I can also benefit the PH community...

So, what would the LEGAL framework be for legitimately charging a fee to ask a reasonably difficult question or other acceptable test of skill and offering a house as the prize for the first correctly answered entry drawn at random in suitably controlled conditions?


I note the owners of the fishing lodge place got pulled up on the lack of skill needed to enter. Funnily enough, I couldn't find the correct answer to their question about the fishing licence!

Lotteries of that nature in the UK are not permitted, as you suggest, the skill element needs to be present.

Where were they based?

6 and a half cans of Skol and a slice of lastnights pizza enough to sway you?

It would depend on the pizza in question.
