I was going to say that too. I really don’t know why it’s not legally a lottery, but here are four potential reasons:
1. Everyone wins. Some win more than others, but everyone gets something, so it’s a genuine quid pro quo transaction
2. The winners are not getting cash. They are getting a piece of personality. Maybe lotteries are limited to cash
3. The break pool may be too small. Is it a lottery if only 20-30 people participate
4. The “payout” is not derived by the the number of people paying in. For example, the more people who buy lottery tickets, the more the winning pot. That is not the case here, as the winning pot is finite and fixed before the event begins
