    The charity may already be damaged. If it is now well known that the organiser won the main prize then people will be more inclined to stay away from a charity that may well be tainted.
    I certainly wouldn't buy a ticket again if I thought it was fixed.
    The charity may have to find a new organiser to steady the boat.

    I tend to agree. Bringing it into the open may well be the best way to distance the charity from rumour and innuendo.

    Was it a donated prize? If so does whoever donated it know who won it and under what circumstances?
