Ok, although I was asking you the question I wasn't asking who's hosting it.
So, I guess it's like a raffle set up with the named recipient of revenues being Wal*Mart Corporation with all profits going to recouping losses caused by shoplifting and retail fraud, but is being operated by someone other than the recipient of the revenue.
I'm just asking questions though. I don't really care personally. If one of you care enough, then feel free to call State of Florida and ask if raffles intended for recoup business losses incurred to a profit making entity is legal.
Ask something like
i.e. can banks have a raffle in its parking lot to ease the losses they suffered from defaulted loans?
or ask if this specific case is legal.
If one of you end up finding the answer, I wouldn't mind seeing the answer.
Whether they be personal or business is yet to be determined, so if Pheobo wants to make a donation after he raffles something off then so be it.
SO if you want an answer to your question you need to ask the right person.
Is it even a "donation" when it is to cover business expenses of a FOR PROFIT company? I'm not sure....
