The Dayton Dragons Foundation Online 50/50 Raffle (the "Raffle") is a fundraiser conducted during our baseball season and at select events at Day Air Ballpark. By purchasing a ticket for the Raffle ("Raffle Ticket"), each eligible participant (a "Participant") represents that he/she meets all the below-stated eligibility requirements and agrees to be bound by these Official Rules, all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations, and by the decisions of The Dayton Dragons Foundation ("DDF"), a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, or its authorized representative.

RAFFLE PERIOD: Raffle Tickets will be sold in our ballpark during home games, as well as online (as described below). Sales will take place throughout the period beginning the week before a Dragons homestand and conclude in or around the 7th inning of the last game of the Dragons homestand (the “Raffle Period”).

ELIGIBILITY: The Raffle is open only to individuals who are of legal age of majority in their jurisdictions of residence (and at least eighteen (18) years of age) at the time of purchase. The Raffle is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws.

DATA CHARGES MAY APPLY TO USE OF MOBILE PHONE/DEVICE TO PARTICIPATE IN A RAFFLE. The Raffle will be offered online in the state of Ohio only ("Raffle Area"). Online entry is void outside the Raffle Area and where prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. All information submitted in connection with entering online is subject to, and will be treated in a manner consistent with, DDF terms of use. Online Participants may be given the option to receive commercial email from the Dayton Dragons Baseball Team; however, eligibility to participate in the Raffle is not dependent upon Participant's consent to receive such emails and consenting to receive such emails will not impact any Participant's chances of winning.

All Raffle Ticket purchases must be made during the Raffle Period. Raffle Tickets are not eligible to be entered into any past or future raffle drawings. DDF and the other Released Parties (as defined below) are not liable for any lost, late, misdirected, incomplete, illegible, undelivered, or destroyed Raffle Tickets regardless of cause or the person responsible, including, but not limited to, any problem or technical malfunction of any computer, online system or server or technical problem. No refunds will be made except as otherwise determined by DDF in its sole discretion.

RANDOM DRAWING: Every transaction is electronically tallied, physically printed, and deposited into a barrel at Day Air Ballpark. The running total from Raffle Ticket sales will be periodically posted on the Dayton Dragons social media and will be updated live at www.DaytonDragons5050.com. A winning Raffle Ticket number will be selected after the conclusion of the Raffle Period by random drawing from among all eligible Raffle Tickets purchased during the Raffle Period. The drawing will be held during or around the 7th inning of the final game of the Dragons homestand. All drawings will be conducted by DDF whose decision is final and binding.

PRIZE: Promptly following the Raffle drawing, the selected Raffle Ticket number will be posted www.DaytonDragons.com/5050 and on Dayton Dragons social media and online. The Participant that purchased the Raffle Ticket with the corresponding winning Raffle Ticket number (a "Prize Claimant") will, subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, receive fifty percent (50%) of the net proceeds (total collected by DDF minus any related expenses from the Raffle Ticket sales) for the Raffle Period or any other pre-determined guaranteed, minimum payout announced by DDF for the Raffle (the "Prize"). All remaining net proceeds from the Raffle shall be retained by DDF.

CLAIMING THE PRIZE: To claim the Prize, the Prize Claimant must contact DDF and present the winning Raffle Ticket via email to [email protected] within thirty (30) days from the conclusion of the Drawing. The Prize Claimant may also call the Dragons at 937-228-2287 to arrange a date and time to present the winning Raffle Ticket and claim the prize. The winning Raffle Ticket is the only valid receipt for claiming the Prize. The Prize Claimant must provide DDF with all information required to claim the Prize (including any information necessary to determine eligibility requirements and tax identification information). The Prize Claimant will receive an Affidavit of Eligibility & Liability/Publicity (except where prohibited by law) Release ("Affidavit") in the form approved by DDF which must be executed and returned to DDF prior to receipt of the Prize. In the event the Prize Claimant (a) does not notify DDF within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the Drawing; (b) is ruled ineligible for any reason; (c) refuses the Prize; or (d) does not return an executed Affidavit of Eligibility & Liability/Publicity (except where prohibited by law) Release, the Prize will be forfeited and will be retained by DDF. DDF has no obligation to contact potential winners. The Prize will be delivered via check within thirty (30) days of the Prize Claimant presenting the winning Raffle Ticket, executing an Affidavit of Eligibility & Liability/ Publicity (except where prohibited by law) Release, and completing all other required documents to DDF. For security and safety reasons, no cash payments will be made to the Prize winner. Unclaimed winnings will be retained by DDF.

ODDS: Odds of winning are based on the total number of Raffle Tickets purchased during the Raffle Period.

TAXES: Each Participant acknowledges that he/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 Prize winner is responsible for any and all federal, state, and local taxes, fees, and other government assessments on the awarded Prize. Furthermore, the Prize winner 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 the Prize is claimed will be followed.

TRANSFER OF RAFFLE TICKET: Raffle Tickets shall not be resold to any other party. Any Raffle Ticket which has been resold 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 the Prize.
