What is an Illegal Lottery?
A lottery includes three things: (1) chance, (2) prize, (3) and consideration. To successfully run a contest or sweepstakes and not an illegal lottery, you must eliminate one of these factors. A contest, for example, eliminates chance and a sweepstakes eliminates consideration (typically an entry fee). You must be careful, however, that you are actually eliminating one of the three factors. |

It is interesting to note that Topps has a "No purchase necessary" program to help in the very law that you describe ( it is arguable whether or not they need it), and further that the set breaker here had an opportunity for a free slot in the break. One wonders what his motivation for that was...

Yes, I think it is an illegal lottery. However, I am not a lawyer (nor do I play one on TV) so consider that when weighing this.
