Question

If I buy a lottery ticket on a Friday afternoon, but the lottery collection is during the Saturday (23:00 on Friday), am I allowed to buy the ticket?

Answer

If those who collect the tickets on Friday night are Jewish, this should not be allowed because of the ‘avayrah’ of “before a blind person you will not give an obstacle” and because you help to commit an offense, but if they are a non-Jew, it should be allowed.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
