Legal Question in Real Estate Law in United States Virgin Islands

Raffles

Is it legal for a non profit organization to hold a raffle in the US Virgin Islands, if so is it legal to sell tickets for that raffle in mainland US states specifically Massachusetts? The plan was to raffle off a house and donate the majority of the proceeds to cancer research.

Re: Raffles

to hold a raffle as a non-profit in MA, you must file a notice with the MA Attorney General's office and meet their standards as to who can participate in the raffle.

As to US VI rules, I have no idea, but would assume they have similar regulations as in MA if not more so.
