NVE5 50/50 Raffle

What is the NVE5 50/50 Raffle? Simply put, it's a chance to win half of the net proceeds raised from ticket sales. Each prize is cash and the amount depends upon the number of 50/50 Raffle tickets sold. The more who participate, the larger the cash prize. For each $15,000 in tickets sold, a random drawing will occur.

The winner must claim their prize within the specified time period or noncompliance with these Official Rules may result in a disqualification and prize forfeiture. If a winner has not claimed the prize within twenty (20) minutes of announcing the winner, the winner’s eligibility will be forfeited, and another ticket will be physically drawn from the collection box according to the same terms. Best efforts will be made to verify a winner before a prize is considered forefeited.
