Employees, agents, representatives, and contractors of the Sponsor, and each of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and advertising/promotional agencies, and the immediate families and household members of each of the foregoing, are not eligible to enter or win. The Raffle is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, and is void wherever prohibited by law.

The purchase of a Providence Bruins game ticket or any other item is not required to enter the Raffle. Participant need not be present to win. All Raffle ticket purchases must be completed within the applicable Raffle Period. All Raffle ticket purchases are final and no refunds or replacement tickets will be issued. The Sponsor and any related entities are not liable for any lost, late, misdirected, incomplete, illegible, undelivered, or destroyed tickets regardless of cause including, but not limited to, any problem or technical malfunction of any device, computer, online system or server or technical problem.

4. DRAWING: The Raffle Prize winner will be selected in a random drawing. A single Raffle ticket number shall be randomly selected from all eligible Raffle ticket numbers sold during each Raffle Period. The drawing will be held at the end of the applicable Raffle Period. The random selection will be conducted by the Sponsor whose decision is final and binding. The randomly selected winning Raffle ticket will be announced at Amica Mutual Pavilion and posted on the Website.

5. CLAIMING A PRIZE: To claim a Prize, the holder of the winning Raffle ticket number (a “Prize Claimant”) must contact Sponsor and present the winning Raffle ticket within thirty (30) days of the applicable drawing either (i) in-person at Amica Mutual Pavilion Section 101, Providence Bruins Members Table, during a Providence Bruins home game, or (ii) to a Sponsor representative at 100 Legends Way, Boston, MA 02114. Each Prize Claimant must provide Sponsor with all information required to claim a prize including, without limitation, photo identification (for age verification), eligibility and tax identification information (completed Form W-9). The Prize Claimant will be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility & Liability/Publicity Release (“Affidavit”) in the form approved by Sponsor prior to receipt of the Prize. In the event that a Prize Claimant either: (a) does not notify Sponsor within thirty (30) days of the drawing; (b) is ruled ineligible for any reason; (c) refuses the Prize; or (d) does not return an executed Affidavit, then, in each such event, the Prize will be forfeited, the ticket deemed voided, and the Prize will be retained by Sponsor subject to a replacement drawing in Sponsor’s sole discretion. Sponsor has no obligation and is not in a position to contact holders of potential winning ticket numbers. All Prizes will be delivered to Prize Claimant and paid via check within forty-five (45) days of the Prize Claimant delivering the winning Raffle ticket, executed Affidavit, and all other required documents to Sponsor. For security and safety reasons, no cash payments will be made to the Prize Claimant. Unclaimed winnings will be retained by the Sponsor for its charitable purposes. Depositing Raffle tickets or related materials in the mail is a violation of federal law and could lead to criminal penalties.

6. ODDS: Odds of winning are variable based on the total number of Raffle ticket numbers sold during each Raffle Period. There is no minimum or maximum number of Raffle tickets that must be sold.

7. 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. The Prize Claimant is responsible for any and all federal, state and local taxes, fees and other government assessments on the awarded Prize. Furthermore, each Prize Claimant 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.

8. TRANSFER OF RAFFLE TICKET: Raffle tickets may not be resold, or permitted by a Participant to be resold. Any Raffle ticket which has been resold in violation of these Official Rules shall be void and such Raffle ticket numbers shall be ineligible to win. All individuals who re-sell, purchase, or receive a Raffle ticket in violation of these Official Rules shall be ineligible to participate in the Raffle or to win a Prize. The eligible individual in physical custody of the winning Raffle ticket shall be deemed the winner unless the ticket was re-sold or otherwise transferred in a manner in contravention of these Official Rules, in which case the winning ticket shall be voided and a new winner shall be randomly selected.
