Games of Chance

Under Utah law, it is illegal to operate a scheme under which a person gives something of value in order to obtain a chance to get something of value.

 

A raffle which requires purchase of a ticket is, therefore, illegal.

 

 

A prize drawing may be conducted, however, if one of the following conditions is met: Œ

  • Payments are considered to be donations and anyone can have a ticket whether a donation is made or not. Œ
  • The payment is for an article with a value reasonably related to the amount of the required payment, and the ticket is given to the purchaser without additional charge.
