In India there is a law prohibiting lottery, but the law Prohibiting lottery has an element wherein a person loses his all investment in case he does not gets lucky draw in his/her won favour but where a person who does not gets any prize till the end but gets the products he has paid for (for example a hanky) then such a scheme cannot be termed as "Lottery" . Hence it is totally legal.
