Entrants may not sell, donate or otherwise transfer their Ticket(s) to anyone. Prize(s) will not be issued to anyone other than the one (1) Entrant whose name is on the Ticket.
Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify: counterfeit or otherwise false Tickets or Tickets suspected of being counterfeit or false; any illegible, defective, incomplete or physically altered Ticket; and any Ticket that is not accompanied by valid or complete payment. Sponsor is not responsible for printing errors in any Raffle-related material, or for lost, late, misdirected or non-delivered mail, or any other failure to receive orders or deliver receipts prior to the drawing deadlines.

3. Drawing. One (1) random drawing for the “Grand Prize” (described below) will be conducted by a representative of Claremont Toyota as described below. Entrants need not be present to win. The Grand Prize Drawing will be held on March 25, 2012 at the showroom of Claremont Toyota. The drawing will be made at random.
4. Notification/Final Award of Grand Prize. The Entrant whose Ticket is drawn ("Selected Entrant") at the Grand Prize Drawing will be notified by phone and/or U.S. Mail using the information provided on the Ticket. If the Selected Entrant cannot be located or fails to return attempts to contact him or her within five (5) business days after Sponsor's first attempt to contacthim or her (the “Contact Period”), such Selected Entrant will be deemed to have forfeited the Grand Prize, and another Selected Entrant will be drawn. As a condition to the final awarding of the Grand Prize, the Selected Entrant must sign and return to Sponsor an affidavit of eligibility/liability/publicity release in the form approved and provided by Sponsor ("Release")and all requested supporting information, including (without limitation) proof of age and proof of identity, showing that the person claiming the Grand Prize is the same Entrant named on the winning Ticket and the winning Ticket stub. Unless restricted by law, the Selected Entrant will be required to complete and return the Release within fourteen (14) days after receipt of Grand Prize notification. The Grand Prize may be forfeited if the Selected Entrant: (i) cannot be reached; (ii) fails to obtain all signatures on the Release and to return the Release and any supporting documents in a timely manner as required pursuant to these Official Rules; or (iii) cannot accept or receive the Grand Prize for any reason. The Selected Entrant must also grant permission for the use of his or her name, photographs, or likenesses for advertising and promotion for this and similar promotions without compensation, unless prohibited by law.
5. Grand Prize. The nature and description of the Grand Prize ("Grand Prize") will depend upon the number of Tickets sold as of the end date of the Raffle Period, as follows:
Tickets sold
Less than 1,000 sold
1,000 or more sold |
Grand Prize
Cash prize of $10,000
2012 Toyota Prius |
The 2012 Toyota Prius is provided with warranties honored by manufacturer. The Selected Entrant is subject to relevant federal, state and local taxes. Other expenses, including automobile license, taxes, and other transfer fees in connection with the Grand Prize are the sole responsibility of the Selected Entrant.
There will be no substitution, transfer, or cash redemption of prizes; provided, however, that Claremont Toyota may, at its sole and absolute discretion, substitute a 2011 Toyota Prius as the Grand Prize. In addition, should the advertised prize become unavailable for any reason, to the full extent permitted by law, Sponsor, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right either (1) to substitute a prize with another prize of equal or greater value or (2) to cancel the Raffle and return to each Entrant the purchase price of his or her Ticket(s). The Raffle is being made possible, in large part, because of the generosity of Claremont Toyota in donating the Grand Prize. However, Sponsor is not connected with Claremont Toyota in any way and is not responsible for the actions of Claremont Toyota in connection with this Raffle or under any other circumstances whatsoever. As an example only, if for whatever reason, Claremont Toyota fails to complete its donation in a timely manner, the Sponsor will have no Grand Prize to award, and, without limiting in any way Sponsor’s authority as otherwise described in these Official Rules, and unless Sponsor can, in its sole and absolute discretion, find a substitute Grand Prize in a timely manner, Sponsor will cancel the Raffle and its sole obligation to each Entrant will be to return to each Entrant the purchase price of his or her Ticket(s).
6. Proceeds. Proceeds from the Raffle, after payment of legitimate costs attributable to the Raffle and its administration, will benefit CEF and its ongoing programming within the Claremont Unified School District in Claremont, California, to protect and enrich Claremont’s public schools. Participating Groups may also share in the proceeds as provided below.
7. Odds. Odds of winning depend on the total number of Tickets sold. If 5,000 Tickets are sold, the odds of any one Ticket winning the Grand Prize are 1:5,000.
8. Participating Groups. Each Participating Group may participate in selling Tickets to potential Entrants in accordance with the provisions of the “Claremont Educational Foundation and Claremont Toyota Prius Raffle Partnership Details” attached to these Official Rules as Exhibit “A” (the “CEF Raffle Partnership Details”).
