Lotteries

    (1)     For this Act, a lottery is a scheme or arrangement, whether real or pretended, by which prizes (whether of money or of any other property, benefit, matter or thing) are or are to be, or are represented or understood as capable of being, drawn, thrown or competed for or gained in any other way by lot, dice or any other mode of chance or by reference to any event or contingency depending on chance, whether the scheme or arrangement is, either in whole or in part, established or conducted or intended or proposed to be established or conducted in the ACT or elsewhere.

    (2)     A scheme or arrangement that involves the distribution of property that is capable of being fairly apportioned among the owners of the property and is proposed, as far as practicable, to be apportioned equally among those owners is not a lottery for this Act.
