i have seen parties where they are raffles, I dont think they have permits for them and it was small raffles or for the church. but how do i go around getting permit?

if someone pays 50 cents to "vote" on a professor for the Jail fundraiser and they have chances of winning a pizza party for their class (the class with the most votes will get pizza party) will that be a raffle? or is that legal?? We want to raise money for the EDS department to have a display case in the Eureka hall. They need one badly.

Check with your secretary of state's office. Generally the information is on the state's website.

If you pay money for a chance to win something (even if you get a token for the money) that falls in to the raffle zone in Iowa, and you need a gambling/raffle license. It is so darned easy to get the permit, why take the chance of something going wrong?
