Getting tired of deleting yours and other members attempts at railroading the OP's F/S thread. If you're (collectively) not interested in buying, stay out of his F/S thread. The OP is free to do what he wishes to with this certificate, INCLUDING selling it!Too funny, If I were to sell it I would donate the money. Good luck with the sale![]()

BernieIn the United States and Canada all types of fundraising raffles are considered to be games of chance. Consequently, they are very tightly regulated and failure to adhere to the law is considered a serious offense. If you have any doubt about the correct procedures, do not rely on anybody's word but a government official or a lawyer knowledgeable in these matters.
In many areas there may be more than one governmental body that has jurisdiction over a fundraising raffle. It is always good to check your state/province/territory and your local government for any necessary licenses and permits.
In almost all cases an application for a license must be made to the governing unit. This application and the resulting permit may takes weeks or months to process and receive. Do not proceed to hold a fundraising raffle without having the necessary paperwork in hand.
