In Australia they have an RSL (RSA - Returned Service Asociation = returned military folks) that do lottery on new houses in sort after areas, like the gold coast. But it would be nice if one of these organizations took on a cheaper version using second hand homes/house. It would help get more homes sold for the sellers and give lucky winners a home they may not otherwise ever be able to afford to buy.

Do you know if there are any companies in Wisconsin that do this for homeowners?

Generally it goes along the lines of an artist making a journal where participants are requested to show their interest by replying to said journal. The participants are given a number and at the end a random number generator is used to select (a) winning participant(s). As the raffles are free to enter, do they break any state or federal laws?
