Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consideration refers to some type of payment or value given in exchange for the opportunity to participate in a game or sweepstakes. If consideration is present, then the promotion would be considered a lottery, which is generally illegal unless it is run by a government agency or for a charitable purpose. Misrepresentation, deception, enticement, and remuneration are not necessarily indicative of a lottery.
