Kings Care 50/50 Official Rules

Kings Care Foundation will conduct 50/50 Raffles at Los Angeles Kings home games. A 50/50 Raffle is a raffle where the prize to the winning ticket holder is one-half (or 50%) of the gross receipts generated from the sale of raffle tickets at a single Kings game. The remaining one-half (or 50%) of the gross receipts is retained by Kings Care Foundation to benefit or support its charitable purposes or, in the case where Kings Care Foundation operates a 50/50 Raffle to benefit another charity, transferred to such charity. All Kings Care Foundation 50/50 Raffle tickets, transactions, participants, purchasers and winners are subject to these Official Rules, and to all applicable statutes, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the State of California Penal Code and the California Bureau of Gambling Control rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and all other applicable rules and regulations adopted by any regulatory and/or enforcement agency having jurisdiction with respect to the activities to which these Official Rules apply. The 50/50 Raffle will be operated exclusively by Kings Care Foundation, and not by L.A. Arena Funding, LLC (the "Venue Owner") or The Los Angeles Kings Hockey Club, L.P. (the "Los Angeles Kings").

Kings Care Foundation 50/50 Raffle fundraisers will be conducted at select Los Angeles Kings home games at Staples Center during the 2019-2020 National Hockey League season. Raffle tickets will be sold from when the Staples Center doors open 2 hours prior to the puck drop through the end of the second intermission of home games. The winning ticket number will be drawn on or about the third period, and the winning number and final jackpot total will be posted on the main scoreboard and announced via the public address system on or about the first time out at Staples Center.

Raffle tickets can be purchased (i) at four 50/50 Raffle kiosks located, Main Level Section 111/112, Main Level Star Plaza Entrance, Premier Level Star Plaza Entrance and Upper Concourse Section 318/319, (ii) from the Kings Care Foundation Booth or (iii) from a Kings Care Foundation 50/50 Raffle ticket seller at Staples Center.
 

Tickets may be purchased with cash in United States dollars (U.S. $) as follows:
•   3 entries for $5
•   10 entries for $10
•   60 entries for $20

Raffle tickets will be sold only in areas where an event ticket is required for admission to view the game. Tickets can be purchased using cash or credit cards from a roaming seller or kiosk. Each ticket is a receipt for the purchaser and represents one (1) entry for that game's 50/50 Raffle and is not eligible for any past or future 50/50 Raffle drawing. Kings Care Foundation is not responsible for printing errors in any raffle-related material or any misdirected, incomplete, lost, late or illegible tickets or other errors or problems that may limit the entrant's ability to participate in or win any 50/50 Raffle. False or deceptive entries or acts by the purchaser will render the purchaser ineligible. Entrants may purchase as many tickets as they wish, subject to availability. A raffle ticket is not transferrable or assignable from its purchaser to any other person. All sales of raffle tickets are final; no refunds will be made under any circumstances. Raffle ticket purchases are not tax deductible.
Kings Care Foundation has the right to suspend the raffle at any time during the scheduled game due to any unforeseen incidents that result in Kings Care Foundation being unable to conduct the 50/50 Raffle (for example, act of God, power outage, emergency, or other unforeseeable circumstances). In that case, the raffle ticket sales will terminate and the raffle drawing will be postponed until the unforeseen incident no longer interferes with the conduct of the 50/50 Raffle.

Kings Care Foundation 50/50 Raffle is open to all ticket holders to Los Angeles Kings home games who: (i) are eighteen (18) years of age or older as of the date of entry; (ii) are physically present at Staples Center at the time of purchase; and (iii) provide valid government-issued identification. By purchasing a raffle ticket, the entrant agrees to abide by all terms of these Official Rules applicable thereto subject to all federal, state, local and municipal laws and regulations. Some restrictions apply. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.

No person affiliated with Kings Care Foundation, Los Angeles Kings, Venue Owner, or a registered manufacturer and distributor of raffle-related products or services used for the 50/50 Raffles, including any affiliated person, any employee or agent, or their immediate family member, may participate in any 50/50 Raffle as a raffle ticket purchaser or receive a raffle prize.

Every transaction will be electronically tallied. The running total will be periodically displayed and updated in real time on the Staples Center video display board and at various locations throughout Staples Center. The winning ticket number will be drawn by hand out of the raffle drum that contains every raffle number ticket that has printed throughout the game as the corresponding raffle tickets were sold throughout Staples Center. Raffle sales will end at the conclusion of the second intermission and the drawing will happen on or about the third period. Ticket holders need not be present to win. The winner need not be present to claim his/her prize. One (1) winner will be chosen out of the pool of purchased tickets for that game. The decisions of Kings Care Foundation are final and binding on all matters relating to any raffle.

The winning ticket number will be posted on the Staples Center video display board and announced via the public address system during the third period at Staples Center. If the Staples Center video display board is inoperable, the winning ticket number will be posted on the monitor at the four 50/50 Raffle kiosk locations described above and at the Kings Care Foundation Booth. In the case of a discrepancy between the announced number and the actual number, the actual number drawn will be considered to be the valid winning ticket. Your raffle ticket includes the email address 5050raffle@lakings.com and the phone number 213-763-5422 that you can contact to learn the winning raffle number at the end of the game. The winning number will also be posted on lakings.com/5050 within three (3) business days of the game date. Kings Care Foundation has no obligation to contact the winning ticket holder directly.

Each prize is cash and the amount depends on the sales of the raffle tickets. Each winning prize, in the form of a check, shall be paid to each raffle winner within four to six weeks via U.S. mail once the potential winner has proven eligibility and provided all documentation required by Kings Care Foundation and by applicable law. Each raffle winner will receive one-half (or 50%) of the total gross receipts collected by Kings Care Foundation for the 50/50 Raffle on the applicable game day. No substitutes for the cash prize will be allowed.
To claim your winning prize, potential winners should go to the Kings Care Foundation Booth at Staples Center during a Los Angeles Kings home game or call (213)763-5422. The purchased Kings Care Foundation 50/50 Raffle ticket is the only valid receipt for claiming a prize and must be redeemed in person at either a Los Angeles Kings home game or the Kings Care Foundation office. The potential raffle winner will be required to submit his/her valid social security number and appropriate identification to Kings Care Foundation and will be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility & Liability/Publicity Release and all applicable tax forms.  
Failure to submit any identification or failure to return required documents to Kings Care Foundation within the specified time period, noncompliance with these Official Rules, or return of any prize or prize notification as undeliverable, may result in disqualification and the prize being forfeited. Any forfeited prize money will be retained by Kings Care Foundation or, in the case where Kings Care Foundation operates a raffle to benefit another charity, transferred to such charity. Potential winners may also choose to waive their right to receive a prize at which time the prize from that drawing will be forfeited and the prize money will be retained by Kings Care Foundation or transferred to such charity, as applicable.
All raffle winners will be subject to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and California Franchise Tax Board rules and regulations regarding gambling winnings. Kings Care Foundation must comply with all reporting requirements on the prize amounts imposed by state, local and/or federal laws. Each winner assumes all responsibility for any state, local or federal taxes, fees or other government assessments on the prize amount. Federal tax law requires that a tax withholding on certain raffle prize values must be collected from the winner before distribution of the prize. Each winner is advised to consult his/her own tax advisor(s) with respect to the liabilities that may arise from winning a prize in the 50/50 Raffle.
All Kings Care Foundation 50/50 Raffle winners will have until thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the applicable game date to claim their prize and return the Affidavit of Eligibility & Liability/Publicity Release. If a prize remains unclaimed after thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the date of the 50/50 Raffle, the unclaimed prize money will be retained by Kings Care Foundation or, in the case where Kings Care Foundation operates a 50/50 Raffle for the benefit of another charity, transferred to such charity.
Kings Care Foundation, the Los Angeles Kings and the Venue Owner are not responsible for any lost or stolen 50/50 Raffle tickets.
