Chances of winning are based on number of tickets sold.

IDIC will provide purchasers all raffle information as required by State laws. Contact IDIC if you have questions.

Each raffle participant releases IDIC, its directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all liability for injuries, losses or damages of any kind caused by participating or winning any prize or resulting from acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any prize, and each winner agrees to indemnify and hold IDIC harmless from any and all losses, damages, rights, claims and actions of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of participating in the raffle or the winner’s acceptance or use of any prize.

Tickets

A Ticket costs $2 each. Only one method of payment, one name, and one mailing address are permitted per ticket. Only one eligible person or organization may be entered in the raffle per ticket sold. Division of prize by a group purchasing a ticket in common shall be to the sole responsibility of the person or group named as the holder of record of that ticket, should that ticket be a winner. IDIC reserves the right to reject any entry form that is submitted with payment that does not constitute “good funds.” Defective or physically altered entry forms will immediately be disqualified by IDIC. Prior to the Grand Prize Drawing, IDIC will make a reasonable effort to notify the individual and/or entity that submits such an entry form or one which has been rejected because the check did not clear, that the entry has been rejected by attempting to make contact through the information provided at the time of the ticket purchase. A raffle participant's sole and exclusive remedy for IDIC's breach shall be limited to the return of the purchase price paid for his or her raffle ticket(s). In no event shall IDIC, its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives be liable to any party for any loss or injuries to earnings, profits or goodwill, or for any incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages of any person or entity whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
