ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO PARISH OR SCHOOL RAFFLE OFFICIAL RULES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

1. Agreement to the Official Rules: The sponsor of the Raffle is the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Parish or School identified on the Raffle ticket (“Sponsor”). By participating in the Sponsor’s raffle (the “Raffle”), all entrants in the Raffle hereby agree to be bound by these Official Rules, Terms and Conditions (“Official Rules”) and by the decisions of the Sponsor which shall be binding and final as to all matters relating to the Raffle. Eligibility to win the Prize (as defined below) is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein. The Raffle is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, and is void where prohibited by such laws. These Official Rules cannot be changed by any oral statement made by any employee, consultant, volunteer, or agent acting on behalf of the Sponsor. Sponsor reserves the right to amend these Official Rules upon ten (10) days notice provided pursuant to an update provided on the Sponsor’s website or otherwise published in the Sponsor’s parish bulletin or some other written medium. 

2. Net Proceeds: All net proceeds of the Raffle will benefit the Sponsor in fulfillment of its religious, educational 

and/or charitable missions. 

3. Eligibility to Enter: Only individuals who are proven to be eighteen (18) years of age or older at the time of 

purchase of a Raffle ticket are eligible to participate in the raffle (“Eligible Entrants”). 

4. How to Enter the Raffle: To enter the Raffle, Eligible Entrants shall purchase Raffle tickets during the period set forth by the Sponsor (“Entry Period”). Each Raffle ticket may only be purchased by one Eligible Entrant and each Raffle ticket purchased by an Eligible Entrant is deemed an “Entry” in the Raffle. Eligible Entrants may purchase as many Raffle tickets as desired, subject to availability during the Entry Period. Raffle tickets may sell out before the close of the Entry Period. Raffle tickets must be paid for in full at time of purchase. Sponsor reserves the right to reject any sale of Raffle tickets due to improper payment or payment that does not constitute “good funds” in U.S. Dollars. All sales of Raffle tickets are final after any advertised return period, or if there is no advertised return period, then all sales of Raffle tickets are final upon sale. No refunds or replacements of lost or stolen Raffle tickets will be issued by Sponsor, unless expressly provided in these Official Rules. Sponsor shall be the sole judge of the validity and eligibility of any and all Entries. Entries which have been or appear to be tampered with are void. Entries by purchasers of Raffle tickets who have violated these Official Rules in any manner are void. 

5. Drawing: The Sponsor shall set the maximum number of Raffle tickets forming an Entry to be sold. The winning Entry will be selected in a random drawing (the “Drawing”). In the event the Drawing cannot be conducted at the date, time, or location advertised by the Sponsor for any reason, or if a Prize cannot be awarded for any reason, representatives of Sponsor shall set a new date and location for a subsequent Drawing. 

6. Prize: The Official Winner(s) (as defined below) shall receive the applicable prize identified: (a) on the Raffle ticket; or (b) on the Sponsor’s website where these Official Rules are posted (“Prize”). In the event of conflict, the applicable prize identified on the Sponsor’s website shall control. The value of any Prize(s) may be a function of Raffle tickets sold, in that a Prize may be reduced proportionally if all advertised Raffle tickets forming an Entry are not sold (by way of example, this means that if one-thousand Raffle tickets are offered and only nine-hundred are sold, the Prize(s) may be reduced by ten percent), in which case a minimum of one-half of all proceeds collected from the sale of Raffle tickets will be awarded as Prize(s). The Sponsor reserves the right to substitute any non- cash Prize acquired for the raffle for a similar prize or similar cash value when circumstances require substitution at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. The odds of winning any Prize(s) depend on the number of Entries sold. 

7. Notification of Official Winner: Sponsor will have the sole discretion to determine whether an owner of an Entry selected at the Drawing (the “Potential Winner”) is an Eligible Entrant and otherwise eligible to be the winner of the Prize in accordance with these Official Rules (the “Official Winner”). As a condition of its right to collect a Prize and become an Official Winner, any Potential Winner must deliver to the Sponsor: (a) a signed statement certifying that the Potential Winner is the rightful owner of the winning Entry in accordance with these Official Rules and all applicable laws; (b) such written information as is required by any applicable laws, including tax regulations, such as the Potential Winner’s name, address and social security number; and (c) proof of both identity and age in forms satisfactory to the Sponsor.
