50/50 Raffle

The 50/50 Raffle at Victory Field is a raffle whereby tickets are sold throughout Victory Field at Indianapolis Indians home games held during selected home stands (“Home Stands”) and select Indianapolis Indians Charities fundraising events (“Fundraising Events”). During the eighth inning of the last game of each Home Stand, the winning raffle ticket number will be announced via the Victory Field Public Address System. During a Fundraising Event, the winning raffle ticket number will be announced via the public address system used for such Fundraising Event or via any other posting of winners at such Fundraising Event. One fan who purchased a raffle ticket will receive half of the net proceeds (for clarity, Raffle provider deducts $1,150 per Drawing) from the raffle ticket sales for that particular Home Stand or particular Fundraising Event (the "Prize"). All remaining proceeds from the Raffle shall be retained by the Indianapolis Indians Charities, Inc. a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and the Administrator of the Raffle, for use in its charitable activities. For a Home Stand, each Raffle begins when Victory Field gates open on the day of the first game of selected Home Stands, will continue during the games in that Home Stand and will end at the end of the seventh inning of last game of each selected Home Stand, and for a Fundraising Event, each Raffle begins and ends as announced at such Fundraising Event (each a "Raffle Period").

A prize winner will be selected in a random drawing performed by the Administrator from among all eligible Raffle tickets purchased during each Raffle Period. The drawing for Raffles during a Home Stand will be held during the eighth inning of the last game of the applicable Home Stand. For Raffles at a Fundraising Events, the drawing will be held as announced in connection with such Fundraising Events.

Each Prize Claimant must provide the Administrator with all information required to claim a prize (including tax identification information).

For security and safety reasons, no cash payments will be made to the Raffle winners. Unclaimed winnings will be retained by the Administrator and utilized to support the Indianapolis Indians Charities lawful purposes or disbursed to other charitable entities.

Odds of winning will depend upon the total number of Raffle tickets purchased in each Raffle Period.

Each Participant acknowledges that he or she has 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 Administrator will report the Prize Claimant and the applicable winnings as required by applicable law. The Prize Claimant is responsible for any and all federal, state, and local taxes, fees, and other government assessments on the awarded prize. Further, each Prize Winner acknowledges that applicable tax law requires that a tax withholding on certain prize values must be collected from winners upon award or distribution and consents to such withholding. 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.

Purchasers of any Raffle tickets may not re-sell their Raffle tickets to other parties and may not give a Raffle ticket away to another person for the purpose of allowing that person to re-sell such Raffle ticket. Any Raffle ticket which has been resold in violation of these Official Rules shall be void. 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. A winner may transfer his/her prize to a third party provided that the following conditions are met: (a) the transferee would have otherwise been eligible to enter the Raffle; (b) the transferee shall be responsible for all taxes and costs described in these Official Rules; and (c) the transferee shall be bound by all terms and conditions of these Official Rules that are applicable to the winner.
