Mass Effect 3 + Raffle + Keeping Profit = Jail

I was surfing the net when I ran into this story.  As well all know, Bioware sent a bunch of copies of Mass Effect 3 into the sky and people had to track it down, which in turn they get a free copy of Mass Effect 3 pretty early!  Well it would seem that 2 people that had some luck getting the game made a Raffle out of their free games which one ticket would cost $5 each, who ever has the winning ticket wins the game.  It would seem that 30% of the proceeds would go to a charity called Child's Play, and the 70% would go towards helping them raise funds for the game company that they wish to start.  And that is where their raffle turns illegal!  Because of the fact that they are making money, and a Raffle is typically considered gambling according to the law, these 2 guys can face jail time and fines.  These 2 ended up refunding everyone's money and cancelling the whole thing as to not face any penalties.
