lottery good causes

I have a website idea in mind but I need to check with laws first. Laws about donations and giving away prize?

Who would I call about something like this? Would I have to abide by my states laws or all the states laws being it will be on a website? I need to be able to explain the idea to someone and have them tell me what kind of legalities are involved and if it can be done.
On another note could any John Doe create a website where members pay lets say $1 to enter in and they have a chance of winning $10,000 is this legal? Is it sort of a lottery? What if the website owner collected $20,000 in the process and paid out $10k as a prize and kept the other 10k? as long as he is posting everything he is doing to all the members is this ok? or what if he donates some of that other money to a good cause… like Cancer or something?

In this US this is illegal. Have you not read about the CEOs of the online gambling companies being arrested in the last year.

Also in most US states running this type of business violates there state laws, so you could be in trouble with two different levels of government.

Bottom line this is very illegal in the US.

The Unnatural Lottery $35.95 The opportunities to become a good person are not the same for everyone. Modern European ethical theory, especially Kantian ethics, assumes the same virtues are accessible to all who are capable of rational choice. Character development, however, is affected by circumstances, such as those of wealth and socially constructed categories of gender, race, and sexual orientation, which introduce factors beyond the control of individuals. Implications of these influences for morality have, since the work of Williams and Nagel in the seventies, raised questions in philosophy about the concept of moral luck. In The Unnatural Lottery, Claudia Card examines how luck enters into moral character and considers how some of those who are oppressed can develop responsibility. Luck is often best appreciated by those who have known relatively bad luck and have been unable to escape steady comparison of their lot with those of others. The author takes as her paradigms the luck of middle and lower classes of women who face violence and exploitation, of lesbians who face continuing pressure to hide or self-destruct, of culturally Christian whites who have ethnic privilege, and of adult survivors of child abuse. How have such people been affected by luck in who they are and can become, the good lives available to them, the evils they may be liable to embody? Other philosophers have explored the luck of those who begin from privileged positions and then suffer reversals of fortune. Claudia Card focuses on the more common cases of those who begin from socially disadvantaged positions, and she considers some who find their good luck troubling when its source is the unnatural lottery of social injustice.
