NJ may strike rules over bowling alleys' raffles | AP | 08/02/2009: "RENTON, N.J. - Bowlers across the state groaned earlier this year when officials cited 59 bowling alleys for allowing leagues to conduct raffles.

The leagues often use the 50/50 raffles, which split proceeds evenly between the winners and the organizers, to raise money for their end-of-season banquets and other purposes. But state law requires that raffle proceeds go to charity , a requirement unknown to many alley owners until they were told they had to pay $3,000 each."
