Well, you're still selling something. However, one way they could legally get around it, even in the UK, is to make it so that instead of buying a voucher you are buying a membership into an exclusive club, which btw, all club members are placed into the draw for free, you receive a free t-shirt and a free voucher for $50 off your next purchase of an AmigaOne/OS4 package as a special gift from the club intself (just one of many priviledges). That will hold up, but you have to make it clear that it's a club. The club could then disband after the draw.
There's a million and one ways to get around laws like that.
Of course, if they have a criminal mind (like I do) they could offer it to anyone, no purchase required, and just tear up all the draw entries from non-purcahse entries. How will anyone know? :)
Regardless, the important thing to note is that it doesn't matter how many entries are made into the draw, the prizes available are dependent on how many vouchers are sold. So if only 1000 people purchase the voucer and 100,000 pople enter the draw, the number of prizes would still be limited by the number of vouchers sold. In a way it makes no difference to Amiga Inc who wins, it's just more likely that the person winning the draw will be someone who made a non-purchased entry. Big deal.
