50-50 raffle

[mick]

U.P. here a 50-50 drawing is held quite commonly to raise money for athletic programs. 1/2 the take goes to the winning ticket-holder and the other 1/2 goes to the program.

During the pregame warmups, a ticket seller approached the two officials, and they each bought tickets at the division line.

Question: Would you buy such tickets in front of God and everybody? Would you buy them more privately, ...around the corner? Would you not buy them at all?
