Apple opens the iPhone to lotteries
Thursday, February 18, 2010
"3.3.17 Your Application may include promotional sweepstake or contest functionality provided that You are the sole sponsor of the promotion and that You and Your Application comply with any applicable laws"
The only limitation is that developers must "clearly state in binding official rules for each promotion that Apple is not a sponsor of, or responsible for conducting, the promotion". Which seems fair enough.

I would love to see a lottery app, making it easy for my Granny to pick a number and we don't need to go to a near lotto outlet every freakin day. A bingo App would be great too! Then I need to buy Grand Ma an iPad..
Best comment ever! I think it refers more to developers giving things away and promoting them in their apps
