(2) The Raffle: The Raffle is a drawing whereby tickets are sold throughout the Arena during all Herd home games held at the Arena. Each Raffle begins when the Arena gates open and ends at the beginning of the third (3rd) quarter of such game (each, a “Raffle Period”). During a break-in-play in the third (3rd) quarter of each such Herd home game, the winning ticket will be announced, and one (1) lucky fan will take home one-half (1/2) of the net proceeds from the Raffle ticket sales during that day’s Raffle Period (the “Prize”). The other one-half (1/2) will go to the Foundation in support of non-profit organizations that provide quality programming in the areas of youth education, youth health and wellness, and community betterment. Late entries will not be eligible for the Raffle. The Foundation is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, corrupted or misdirected entries.
(3) Entry: You may enter the Raffle, if you meet the eligibility requirements in Section 1 above, by agreeing to follow these Official Rules, and purchasing Raffle ticket(s). Each Raffle ticket costs two dollars ($2.00). You may purchase a minimum of one (1) Raffle ticket from the Raffle staff located throughout the Arena. There is no maximum amount of Raffle tickets that may be purchased.
(4) Prizewinner Drawing: The Winner will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible Raffle tickets purchased during each Raffle Period. One (1) Raffle ticket will be randomly drawn immediately after each Raffle Period, and the winning number on such Raffle ticket will be announced at the end of the third quarter and, if the Winner does not claim the Prize by the seven (7) minute mark (7:00) on the game clock in the fourth (4th) quarter, the winning number on such Raffle ticket will be announced again. Odds of winning are based on the total number of Raffle tickets purchased in each Raffle Period.
(5) Claiming Prize: The entrant in possession of the Raffle ticket with the winning number (the “Winner”) will have until the end of the game clock (i.e., end of the fourth (4th) quarter) to claim their Prize at the Fan Services Desk (on the main concourse of the Arena). If no one claims the Prize for a given Raffle Period by the time the Arena closes to fans after the conclusion of the applicable game, the unclaimed net proceeds will be rolled over and added to the prize pool for the immediately subsequent Raffle Period. The designated Raffle ticket is the only valid receipt for claiming a Prize. A Raffle ticket will be void and a Prize will not be paid/redeemed if there is proof that the ticket was stolen, unissued, ineligible, altered, and counterfeit in whole or in part, defective, printed in duplicate, or printed/produced in error.
