By purchasing a raffle ticket, the entrant agrees to abide by all terms and conditions of these Official Rules applicable thereto subject to all federal, state, local and municipal laws and regulations. Only one winner per drawing. Some restrictions apply. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.

RANDOM DRAWING: Every transaction is electronically tallied. The running total value is periodically displayed and updated on the videoboard and/or fascia ring, designated scoreboard sections, digital dasherboards, and/or halo ring and at various locations throughout the Venue. 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 applicable game as the corresponding raffle tickets were sold throughout the Venue. Raffle sales will end at the conclusion of the second intermission and the drawing will happen at a time to be determined by Foundation in or about the third period. Prior to conducting the draw, the prize amount will be determined and publicly announced. 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 each game during which a raffle is conducted. The Foundation's decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to any raffle.

WINNER NOTIFICATION: The winning ticket number will be posted on the main videoboard monitors and/or the fascia ring, designated scoreboard sections , digital dasherboards, and/or halo ring and announced before the end of the third period, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
The winning ticket number will also be displayed (i) at the 50/50 raffle kiosks on the Concourse Level at the Venue outside of Section 118 and (ii) on www.sjsharks.com/5050 within three (3) business days of the applicable game. Furthermore, you may contact the Foundation by phone at 408-977-4791 or by email at [email protected] to learn the winning raffle number at the end of the applicable game or soon thereafter.

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. The Foundation has no obligation to contact the winning ticket holder directly.

PRIZE: Each prize is cash and the amount depends on the amount of raffle tickets sold on a particular game day. Each winning prize, in the form of a check, shall be paid to the applicable raffle winner within four (4) to six (6) weeks of the claim date via U.S. mail or national courier service once the potential winner has provided all documentation required by The Foundation and by applicable law. Each raffle winner will receive one-half (or 50%) of the cash total collected from the sale of raffle tickets by the Foundation on the date for which their winning draw number is selected (the "Prize"). The final Prize amount displayed at the Venue, on the website, and/or the Winner's affidavit may be adjusted based on the Foundation's final determination of funds actually collected from the sale of raffle tickets, any technical errors involved in the raffle, or other factors impacting the Prize amount. As a result, the Winner's Prize check may be less than the amount announced during the game. Only one Prize check will be given per drawing and a Prize cannot be split into multiple checks. No substitutes for the cash prize will be allowed.

CLAIMING PRIZE: To claim a Prize, Potential Winners should go to the 50/50 raffle kiosk located on the Concourse level by Section 118 or call 408-977-4791. The purchased 50/50 raffle ticket is the only valid receipt for claiming a Prize. The original ticket must be submitted and reflect the winning draw number. A photo copy, photograph, or reproduction of the receipt will not be accepted. A person presenting a winning raffle ticket ("Potential Winner") will be required to submit his/her valid social security number and appropriate identification to the Foundation and will be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability and Publicity Release and all applicable tax forms, and supply any other information requested by the Foundation necessary to determine eligibility and comply with applicable laws.

Upon completion of the corresponding paperwork and verification of eligibility, the Foundation will mail a check in the winning Prize amount to the winner within approximately four to six weeks. If a Potential Winner is unable to appear in person to claim the Prize, with the prior approval of the Foundation, he/she may submit all necessary materials by mail or delivery service. The Foundation reserves the right to require Potential Winners to claim their Prize in person at the Venue.

If a Potential Winner is determined to be ineligible, fails to submit identification, fails to return the required documents to the Foundation within the specified time period, or otherwise fails to comply with these Official Rules as determined by the Foundation in its sole discretion, the Potential Winner will be disqualified, the Prize will be forfeited, and the Prize money will be donated to the Foundation. 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 donated to the Foundation.

The winner of a raffle Prize must present the actual, purchased raffle ticket from the registered event, displaying the winning raffle draw number within 30 days of the event in order to be eligible to redeem the Prize. Any unclaimed Prize will be forfeited and donated to the Foundation or the designated charitable organization for the applicable drawing. All post-season Prize(s), if any, must be claimed within thirty (30) days of the drawing. Any post-season Prize remaining unclaimed after thirty (30) days will be forfeited and donated to the Foundation or the designated charitable organization for the applicable drawing.
