thought of a really cool business opportunity involving raffle

I wouldnt imagine doing this any time soon, Im actually moving to a different state to work. But in the future, as a retirement possibility. I actually got this idea from the lotto, although its a lot smaller reward, but the pay off is much more often:
Instead of a casino, you create a small raffle that people only play every three weeks. $18 a raffle ticket, and only 2000 people can get a raffle once every three weeks. Winner out of 2000 people takes home $10,000. And $18x2000-$10,000 every three weeks, well you do the math.
Now obviously this idea would require a very public place with lots of people to hold the raffle, and would want a cut of the profit. The cool aspect of this:
Low buy in (no one gambles their house etc.) and constant pay offs so there isnt a SUPER large volume of people saying its fraud, every 3 weeks someone wins $10k. Would the marketing aspect of this be extremely un relative in expenses to the profits? Do Casinos and lottery pretty much put small gambling rackets out of business?
Discuss!

i would imagine this would fall under gambling regulations for whatever state your in. Unless you get a good lawyer and structure it in such a way as to find a loophole
