Idaho Code § 18-4901

A lottery is any scheme for the disposal or distribution of property by chance among persons who have paid or promised to pay any valuable consideration for the chance of obtaining such property, or a portion of it, or for any share or interest in such property, upon any agreement, understanding or expectation that it is to be distributed or disposed of by lot or chance, whether called a lottery, raffle, or gift enterprise, or by whatever name the same may be known. The pari-mutuel system used in racing shall not constitute a lottery, so long as it is conducted in conformity with the provisions of chapter 25, title 54, Idaho Code.
