As provided below under "NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNERS," each Potential Winner (as hereinafter defined) will have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Drawing to claim his or her Prize.

Sponsor shall have no obligation to contact any Potential Winner to claim a Prize.

Claims by POTENTIAL WINNERS: EACH POTENTIAL WINNER MUST CONTACT SPONSOR DIRECTLY TO BEGIN THE PROCESS REQUIRED TO CLAIM HIS OR HER PRIZE WITHIN THE PRIZE CLAIM PERIOD BY SENDING AN EMAIL CONTAINING THAT POTENTIAL WINNER'S CONTACT INFORMATION TO [email protected] DURING THE PRIZE CLAIM PERIOD TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS SO SPONSOR MAY INSPECT AND VERIFY EACH POTENTIAL WINNER'S RAFFLE TICKET AND OTHER INFORMATION. A POTENTIAL WINNER¡¯S FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OR ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN THESE RULES SHALL RESULT IN THE DISQUALIFICATION OF SUCH POTENTIAL WINNER. IN THE EVENT OF DISQUALIFICATION OF A POTENTIAL WINNER, THE PRIZE SHALL CONTINUE TO REMAIN THE PROPERTY OF SPONSOR.

DETERMINATION OF ANY OFFICIAL WINNER(S): Sponsor shall have the sole discretion to determine whether a Participant with a winning Raffle ticket ("Potential Winner") is an Official Winner of a Prize. Sponsor¡¯s decision concerning the identity of all Official Winners shall be final and binding. To become an "Official Winner": (1) a Potential Winner must be eligible to participate in the Raffle under the Rules and must not be in violation of the Rules as determined in Sponsor¡¯s sole judgment; (2) the Potential Winner must be only one (1) individual person (e.g., not a group of two or more persons and not a company or other entity); (3) that Potential Winner must have a winning Raffle ticket and must contact Sponsor by the deadline specified above under "NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNERS"; (4) that Potential Winner's winning Raffle ticket must be inspected and verified in person by Sponsor by the deadline specified above; (5) that Potential Winner must execute and return to Sponsor an affidavit of eligibility on a form to be provided by Sponsor and provide all tax identification information and other information and documents required by federal, state or local law or otherwise requested by Sponsor; and (6) where applicable, provide Sponsor with payment for any required withholding taxes due prior to that Potential Winner's receipt of the Prize. If for any reason whatsoever all of the foregoing requirements are not satisfied with respect to a particular Potential Winner, or if Sponsor is unable for any reason to identify or contact a Potential Winner, then that Potential Winner will be disqualified and the Prize will continue to remain the property of Sponsor to use for charitable purposes.

Sponsor shall use the following rules to determine the identity of any Potential Winner and of the Official Winner of each Prize: Sponsor shall conclusively presume that the person who is in possession of that Raffle ticket is the lawful owner of that Raffle ticket and that ticket's winning number, and Sponsor shall not make, nor have any duty to make, any inquiry whatsoever into the circumstances under which that person came into possession of such winning Raffle ticket. In the unlikely event that an error or problem in the administration of the Raffle results in two (2) or more Raffle ticket purchasers holding winning Raffle tickets that contained identical ticket numbers, then the person who has record of the earliest ticket purchase shall be deemed to hold the winning Raffle ticket.

AWARD OF PRIZE(S) TO OFFICIAL WINNER(S): A Prize will be awarded to each Potential Winner who has been designated by Sponsor as an Official Winner. The Cash Prize will be sent via FedEx to the Official Winner via check within thirty (30) business days of Official Winner delivering a winning Prize Raffle ticket to a representative of Sponsor as described above.
