That would be illegal.

  It's only a crime if you get caught. Anyway, I know lotteries and gambling are regulated, what about e.g. radio or charity raffles?

    Yes, radio, charity, and other raffles are regulated. I encourage you to search for [your state] raffle statute. Or [your city/county] raffle statute.

      One of the common regulations you often hear about is "no purchase necessary" - even for games where most player get a chance to win by purchasing a product, they still need to provide some other mechanism like mailing in a request.

      Just because it is illegal doesn't mean it's not done. I've seen plenty of faux competitions ran successfully without consequence. Same with email signup regulations. Plenty of laws and regulations, yet it's really hard for people to get caught and fined for misbehaving.

        The same is true of shoplifting etc. Getting caught has nothing to do with something being a crime.

        How many people break a traffic law every single time they drive and don't get caught>?
