  1. The contest must be conducted by a charitable or nonprofit organization in accordance with the provisions of Idaho Code Chapter 38, Title 18 [4.1].
  2. The contest must not be a raffle or a lottery, as those are governed by separate provisions of Idaho law [4.1].
  3. The prize must be assignable, subject to garnishment and recovery for unpaid taxes, child or spousal support, or public assistance benefits paid and recoverable by the state or any county, or by a person pursuant to a judgment and execution under an order of the court [1.1].
