What is the legal ruling on a newspaper competition that involves cutting out its logo and sending in 7 coupons weekly for 9 months, with a weekly draw to win 100 dinars?

This competition is considered a forbidden form of gambling (maysir), because it was designed to market the newspaper, and the buyer only purchases it to enter the competition. This scenario falls under the definition of gambling, where the participant is not free from either loss or gain. However, if the purchase is for the purpose of reading, and then participating in the competition, there is no objection.
