Crazy side project I built with my college roommates this weekend during the snowstorm in DC. This is the first ever ad-supported cash giveaway. Completely free to enter, winner must donate 18% of winnings to a charity of their choice.

When dealing with actual money, "side project" is not relevant.

I strongly question the legality of the terms present (a raffle has strict legal requirements) and I recommend looking into that before continuing.

Thanks for the feedback, you make a good point about when a "side project" becomes something to be taken more seriously. To clarify, this is not a raffle, contest, or lottery and we did extensive legal research. It's considered a sweepstakes since no purchase is necessary, and it is also void where prohibited. We have a set of official rules for the sweepstakes, and we're doing everything we can to ensure that we are abiding by the law and being transparent with all site visitors.
