Yes. This is a violation of Arizona's criminal laws. Private parties are not allowed to conduct a raffle for their personal benefit. Disclosure to the participants will not make it legal. Arizona has a limited exception available for certain non-profit organizations to hold raffles. That exception would not be available for the situation described.
