You need a lottery license to hold a raffle, legally.

This dude is trying to hold a lottery for a prize he values at over $35,000. A personal lottery.
Super illegal.
Just piece it out and sell it individually over the year. If you're worried about time, do it one wave at a time instead of all at once
