So if the Chamber of Commerce holds a raffle, it is perfectly legal. Under your state’s laws, there are probably laws that pertain to these civic organization’s operation. Among these laws there are regulations about fund raising. Just like the Rotary Club’s haunted houses, the raffle is most likely regulated by the laws and is set up for a specific purpose. Check with your local Chamber for the appropriate legal paper work on this raffle.
