Hi
Do you think it is possible to start my own lottery/raffle and hire a sales man to go out and sell as many tickets a possible?
Then actually create an e-Ticket and see how many i can sell or even just create tickets and get shops to sell them.
Do you think this would work? or something close to this would work

In a word, No :
http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/gambling_sectors/lotteries.aspx
"Lotteries (also known as raffles) cannot be run for private or commercial gain."
If a portion of the proceeds are going to charity, or raising funds for local communities, etc., then you'd be OK. The rules are fairly complex, but have a look through the Gambling Commission site, there's plenty of information there.0 -
Why don't you set up a bingo website? You can ask a provider to provide all the software and banking for you and you just manage the marketing. Lots of cash can be made depending on your ability to market the product.soulman247 wrote: »Hi
