Cal. Penal Code § 319.5 — Lotteries is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
Neither this chapter nor Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 330) applies to the possession or operation of a reverse vending machine. As used in this section a reverse vending machine is a machine in which empty beverage containers are deposited for recycling and which provides a payment of money, merchandise, vouchers, or other incentives at a frequency less than upon each deposit. The pay out of a reverse vending machine is made on a deposit selected at random within the designated number of required deposits.
The deposit of an empty beverage container in a reverse vending machine does not constitute consideration within the definition of lottery in Section 319.
