Is the Barsa Group running a lottery?

I just received an invitation to the "iSeries & AS/400 Connection
Conference" in Naples, Florida put on by The Barsa Group.  On it there
is a
drawing for four IBM ThinkPad's.  However, to be eligible to win the
ThinkPad one must register and pay for the conference.

Under federal law this constitutes a lottery and is illegal.  In
order for it to qualify for a giveaway then there must be no purchase
required.  I have worked for many companies that have had giveaways and
drawings and know of this first hand.  I wonder if the guys at Barsa
Consulting Group really thought this through!
