Are SMS contests lotteries ?
I have always wondered about this. Gambling is banned in Tamil Nadu... right.. ? Then how can cell phone companies make money... by making people respond to truly simple questions like "Do we have red on the Indian tricolour?"... and charge 6 Rs per SMS ?
Doesn't that amount to gambling ? even people without money might just charge their cell phone for 10 rs to answer that question in the hope of winning a Motor bike. The sponsor and the cell phone company would recieve a lak of SMSes, which would more than cover the prize money.
Is this gambling ?
