As far as I'm aware it becomes illegal if a purchase has to be made

in order to enter - then it becomes a raffle - that is circumvented by

offering the No Purchase Necessary route.


To avoid the NPN route, an element of skill (e.g. spot the ball,

tiebreaker) can be added to a competition where a purchase is

required.
