What is a charitable lottery?

[Julio88]

charitable lottery is a type of lottery or raffle that is conducted by a non-profit organization, such as a charity, with the proceeds going to a charitable cause or organization. These lotteries are typically held to raise money for a specific charitable purpose, such as supporting a particular charity or funding a specific project. The rules and regulations governing charitable lotteries vary by state, but in general they are subject to more lenient rules and regulations than other types of lotteries, such as commercial or state-run lotteries. Charitable lotteries are often regulated by state gaming commissions or other regulatory bodies to ensure that the proceeds are used for their intended charitable purposes

These lotteries are ones where the proceeds are not funneled to the winner but are rather donated to a charitable organization or mostly, one that is picked by the winner themselves. It is for a good cause and can unite gamblers.
