You would have no way of enforcing his actually paying out the prizes.

It's legal in the US as long as you do not have to pay to be entered into the contest. In this case, you are able to win prizes in the trial version without having to purchase the software.

From the company's website (http://www.mastersoftmobilesolutions.com):
Purchase not necessary (i.e. you may win a real prize during your trial period prior to product purchase).
