    gambling involves any considerations--doesn't have to be financial. So, yes, that's gambling.

    Now, will anyone care? If it's just among those you know (no Internet, setup, etc) then probably not.

    If there's no entry fee/consideration, it would be a giveaway.

    Check your state's lotto, raffle and gambling statues for more.

    thanks for the information I think if you did set it up on the internet with no entry fee it would be a giveaway!

    Make sure you check your laws, because Florida has more specific laws regarding this stuff than other states.
