RAFFLE TICKETS NON-TRANSFERRABLE: Raffle tickets may not be resold, assigned, or otherwise transferred. All individuals who transfer raffle tickets in violation of these Official Rules may be ineligible to participate in the raffle or to win the Prize and the ticket numbers issued in connection therewith shall be void and ineligible to win.

TAXES: Each Participant acknowledges that they have been informed that the IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries, or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of a raffle ticket does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution. The Prize is considered to be ordinary income by the IRS. Winners are responsible for any and all federal, state and local taxes, fees and other government assessments on the awarded Prize. Furthermore, each winner acknowledges that federal law requires that a tax withholding on certain prize values must be collected from winners upon award or distribution. Federal and state withholding laws are subject to change without notice. The withholding laws in effect at the time each Prize is claimed will be followed. If you are the winner, it is important that you determine what federal, state and/or local taxes you must pay. Winners are encouraged to consult with an attorney, accountant or tax preparer to make that determination.
