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.
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.
Is it even a "donation" when it is to cover business expenses of a FOR PROFIT company? I'm not sure....
BLAH BLAH BLAH! Do you READ before you post. The raffle isn't to cover business expenses per say. The raffle is to cover personal expenses that we incurred because of this escapade with Joe.
Most of the business expenses have been covered by the donations made through paypal. Unfortunately this car was completed at the expense of not paying personal bills and hopefully we will simply be able to get caught up so that we can continue to operate.
