I have a question regarding running private raffles, if it is allowed in Alberta / Canada.

Hypothetically, I have a PS5 in hand worth $800. Can I run a raffle here on CP (or Twitter or somewhere) saying I am selling 20 tickets at $100 each and the winner will get the PS5. I sold the 20 tickets and I will pocket $2000 from a $800 piece of merchandise.

Is it legal to run this type of raffles in Alberta and in Canada?
