You may be offered a "Bet".
Odds are £1 against the price of the car.

Or entered into a raffle for the car. Only 10 tickets and you're given all of them.

Usually it's "Get a hole-in-one and you get a free raffle ticket for the chance to win a car. Raffle tickets may be purchase at a cost of £### each" (where £### is the cost of the car). This means that the prize is not exclusively available to persons getting a hole-in-one and so is inside the rules.
