Despite any other Act or law—
the promotion and conduct of any lottery under and in accordance with this Act and the doing of anything incidental or ancillary to such promotion and conduct is lawful; and
any person who subscribes or contributes to, or purchases a ticket in, any such lottery or who acts under the authority or on behalf of such a subscriber, contributor or purchaser and any person who acts under the authority or on behalf of the Minister or the Commission under this Act or who carries out any duties or functions in relation to or in connection with the promotion or conduct of a lottery under this Act is freed and discharged from all penalties, suits, prosecutions and liabilities to which by law the person would be liable, but for this Act, by reason of so subscribing, contributing, purchasing or acting or so carrying out such duties or functions, as the case may be.
A lottery promoted or conducted under this Act by the Commission will be taken not to be a lottery or a sweepstake within the meaning of the

Minister or the Commission under this Act or the carrying out of any duties or functions in relation to or in connection with the promotion or conduct of a lottery by the Commission will be taken not to be unlawful gaming within the meaning of that Act.
