£29 for a ticket, or

2) Enter our SMS competition for £5 for a minimum of 1-in-9 chance of winning one of the above mentioned tickets (Text "PPL" to 81808)

"£5" for a "chance" at having a ticket by text........doesn't fill me with confidence!

Especially given the blokes history someone posted above ^

I'm involved with the ACO and I know of loads of kids who wouldn't think twice about texting in!

I wonder if this "lottery" has been registered and complies with the law?

The general rule is that lotteries cannot be run for private or commercial gain.
Hmm, now 448 tickets at £29 ea is over £12k, and the cost of a NPPL is what, £4-6k I'd assume? Leaving a rather hefty wedge left over........and it seems, all his "company" is doing, is running this lottery, which it would seem breaches the quote above?
