What the rule requires
North Dakota defines a lottery as any plan for distributing a thing of value to people selected by chance from among participants, some or all of whom have given consideration for the chance of being selected. Except as permitted by law, selling, buying, receiving or transferring a chance in a lottery, or spreading information to encourage participation in one, is a class A misdemeanor, and engaging or participating in the business of gambling, which the statute says includes conducting a wagering pool or lottery, is a class C felony.
