According Drakemall’s Terms and Conditions and FAQ, Drakemall claims it doesn’t use ‘real’ money. Instead, you are filling your Drakemall wallet with real money when you first set up your account. The $ shown on the screen near the cases does not signify USD. Instead, it signifies a form of credit or psuedo-currency.
With that said, that technicality doesn’t matter for a lottery. Because you are using real money and converting that USD into ‘Drakemall Credit’ (which confusingly also uses the $ sign), when opening the case with that credit, you’re ultimately still paying real money for each entry fee for a chance to win the ‘bigger’ prize.
Legitimate or Not?
It doesn’t really matter. If you live in the United States and you participate in this site, you could be found guilty of illegal gambling, which could be against state or other local gambling laws. If you’re found to have used this site, you may be in for fines or other potential legal troubles in the future.

I am not lottery or sweepstakes legal expert. However, I do understand what a lottery is. From what I’ve seen of how drakemall.com works, it is highly likely that this site could be considered an illegal form of instant lottery if played within the United States. I should point out that this business claims to operate from within Estonia. In answer to your question, if you live within the U.S., this site may not be safe to use. You will need to read up on your state, city and county laws for what is considered illegal gambling.
