Influencer organizes a raffle for rare Volkswagen Golf cars, but the legality of the draw is questioned (Instagram @diegofaustino68)
A Brazilian digital influencer, Diego Faustino, attracted attention by organizing a raffle offering five Volkswagen Golf from different generations, including a rare 1989 GTI and an 8th generation model, which has not yet officially arrived in Brazil.
The raffle, with tickets starting at $0.17, raises questions about its legality. The total value of the vehicles is estimated to exceed $173,400, with the older Golf GTI being especially valuable due to its rarity.
Brazilian legislation does not allow raffles, only those organized by philanthropic entities, which must allocate all funds raised to charitable causes. Lotteries can also organize raffles, but they need state authorization. According to UOL, the influencer claims that the selection of numbers is made by a company authorized by the Lottery of the State of Paraíba, which still does not guarantee the legality of the action.
The Federal Supreme Court (STF) recently reinforced that raffles organized by state lotteries must be limited to the state in question. This means that the vehicles could only be awarded to residents of Paraíba. The decision followed questions about the Loterj, from Rio de Janeiro, which did not properly control the location of the bettors.
Minister André Mendonça ordered the mandatory use of geolocation to prevent state lotteries from operating irregularly at the national level.
