Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the lotto events qualified as tombolas under Art. 2 LG or prohibited lotteries under Art. 1 LG
Decisione estratta
Tombolas under Art. 2 LG are limited to events hosted by a club or similar organizer for an identifiable non-self-serving purpose; events run without such organizer and for own gain fall under the federal prohibition.
Motivazione estratta
The Court upheld BGE 106 IV 150 in principle, emphasizing the historical and teleological distinction: Article 2 LG covers relatively harmless entertainment lotteries traditionally run by associations, while self-standing money-making lotto events are not covered.
