The Tri-Con 50/50 Raffle (“Raffle”) is administered by Tri-Con Child Care Center.  The raffle will grant one lucky winner half of all 50/50 raffle ticket proceeds collected between [LAUNCH DATE] and close of available ticket sales, [CLOSE DATE].  The winning ticket (and winner) will be randomly selected [DRAWING DATE].

Anyone can play in the Tri-Con Raffle as long as you are of legal age. In order to be eligible you must be at least 18 years old. To enter the raffle, a person must hold at least one raffle ticket, but may enter the drawing with multiple tickets. A ticket purchased by an ineligible person is void, and cannot be a winning ticket.  The only way to obtain Raffle tickets is by purchase at https://www.triconraffle.com/.

The prize for the Raffle is one half (50%) of the gross ticket sale proceeds collected by Tri-Con as described herein.  Tri-Con will retain the remainder of proceeds for use in support of its services and mission.

The Raffle will end on [CLOSE DATE] and the winner will be announced [DRAWING DATE]. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and will be notified by phone and email.

Verification of Winner – All potential winners are subject to verification by Tri-Con, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Raffle. An entrant is not a winner, unless and until entrant’s eligibility has been verified and entrant has been notified that verification is complete. Tri-Con will not accept photographs or other evidence of winning in lieu of its validation process. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. The potential winner will be notified by email, phone, or in-person. Each potential prize winner will be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release (“Affidavit”) (except where prohibited), which must be received by Tri-Con within thirty (30) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential winner of the prize cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the Affidavit within the required time period (if applicable), or prize is returned as undeliverable, such potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event the prize winner is disqualified for any of the foregoing reasons, Tri-Con will award the prize to an alternate winner by random drawing among all remaining eligible entries. Winner must present raffle ticket stub when asked to prove eligibility.
