Sale of prohibited items : sale of cards that earn prizes

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum : well, I think I have a very hard question, which could be classified, in the gray area : my school wants to do some fundraising to buy a mini van, So by the help of another company, this company has donated many prizes, which are hidden under (scratch and win) cards. And (As school students) we've been asked to sell those cards for $ 2 each, however the prize that every single ticket (card) has, is $ 2 or more !! And the profit goes to the school at the end of the day. The prizes vary very much, but one of the friends told me that he got (beer) which is definitely Haram, But am I allowed to sell such tickets ?? Plus the more I sell the (more) credits I get !!
