Attorney General Joseph A. Foster issues the following consumer alert:
Recently, the Charitable Trust Unit has received complaints from consumers who purchased raffle tickets to support an organization named Smile God Loves U Foundation.
Smile God Loves U sold raffle tickets to benefit a substance abuse treatment center. The ticket price was $50 and offered a chance to win two snowmobiles with a trailer or $12,500 cash.
The winning ticket was to be drawn at a local establishment on Jan. 30, 2016 at noon.
The drawing did not take place. When consumers called Smile God Loves U, they were advised that the organization had not sold enough tickets to award the prizes.
Therefore the Attorney General suggests that consumers who bought raffle tickets should contact Smile God Loves U to seek a refund.
