Lego selling -> Bourbon selling

Bear with me here. The last few weeks, I've been learning about the buying and selling of bourbon, mostly online for the selling, in private facebook groups. It's basically gambling. I've been wondering about doing this for Lego. What they do is the owner of a bottle posts it for sale, say Sunday morning. Ten different people buy a number, 0 through 9, for a stated price. Each buyer of a number sends money to the seller via Paypal or Venmo. Then that evenings Illinois Lottery Fireball number is the winner. The seller and winner exchange address, and the seller pays for shipping. So the buyers take a 1 in 10 shot they'll get the bottle(s) for 10% of it's value. Alternatively, the winner can choose to take 85% of the pot, and seller keeps the bottle and the 15%. I'll post an example.
