Sponsor shall draw additional numbers if needed before Saturday, July 18th until 19 valid winners are selected.
NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNERS: Owners of eligible entries need NOT be present in person at the Drawing in order to win. Sponsor will try to contact the purchasers-of-record of the 19 winning entries ("Potential Winners") by mail, phone or email immediately after the Drawing, to notify them that they are Potential Winners, but only if and to the extent that Sponsor can successfully identify and contact such Potential Winners based on the identifying and contact information supplied by the purchasers of the Entries in question. It is not the Sponsors responsibility to contact owners of winning tickets
WHETHER OR NOT CONTACTED BY SPONSOR, EACH POTENTIAL WINNER MUST CONTACT SPONSOR DIRECTLY TO BEGIN THE AUTHENTICATION PROCESS REQUIRED TO CLAIM HIS/HER PRIZE BY CONTACTING THE SPONSOR VIA EMAIL AT redsoxfoundation@redsox.com OR BY CALLING THE RED SOX FOUNDATION AT (617) 226-6440 BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 11AM AND 4PM BETWEEN FRIDAY, JULY 9TH THROUGH 4PM ON JULY 16TH.
TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS, SPONSOR MUST BE ABLE TO INSPECT IN PERSON AND VERIFY THE AUTHENTICITY OF CLAIMANT'S PUPORTED WINNING RAFFLE TICKET BEFORE 4PM ON FRIDAY, JULY 16TH FOR ANY TICKET TO BE CONSIDERED VALID.
DETERMINATION OF OFFICIAL WINNER(S): Sponsor shall have the sole discretion to determine whether each Potential Winner is an official winner of a Prize (an "Official Winner"). Sponsor's decision concerning the identity of all Official Winners shall be final and binding. To become an Official Winner: (1) a Potential Winner must be eligible to participate in the Raffle under these Official Rules and must not be in violation of these Official Rules as determined in Sponsor's sole judgment; (2) that Potential Winner must contact Sponsor, or be contacted by Sponsor, by the deadline specified above under "NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL WINNERS"; (3) that Potential Winner's winning entry must be inspected and verified in person by Sponsor by the deadline specified above; (4) that Potential Winner must execute and return to Sponsor an affidavit of eligibility on a form to be provided by Sponsor before the Prize is awarded; and (5) that Potential Winner must provide Sponsor with all tax identification information required by federal, state or local law and, where applicable, provide Sponsor with payment for any required withholding taxes due prior to that Potential Winner's receipt of the Prize. If for any reason whatsoever all of the foregoing requirements are not satisfied with respect to a particular Potential Winner, or if Sponsor is unable for any reason to identify the holder of a winning Raffle ticket or to contact a Potential Winner, then that Potential Winner's Prize will be deemed forfeited and, at Sponsor's sole discretion, an alternate Potential Winner and Official Winner of that Prize will be selected, through another random drawing from the remaining pool of eligible Entries.
Sponsor shall use the following rules to determine the identity of any Potential Winner and of the Official Winner of each Prize: (1) in the case of a Raffle ticket that was purchased at www.redsox.com, Sponsor shall conclusively presume that the purchaser of that Raffle ticket, as determined by credit-card purchase records, is the lawful owner of that Raffle ticket and that Raffle ticket's winning number and (2) in the case of a Raffle ticket that was purchased in person at Fenway Park or another specified in person sales venue, Sponsor shall conclusively presume that the person who is in possession of that Raffle ticket is the lawful owner of that Raffle ticket and that Raffle ticket's winning number, and Sponsor shall not make, nor have any duty to make, any inquiry whatsoever into the circumstances under which that person came into possession of such winning Raffle ticket. In the unlikely event that an error or problem in the administration of the Raffle results in two (2) or more Raffle ticket purchasers holding winning Raffle tickets that contain identical Raffle ticket numbers, then the person who has record of the earliest Raffle ticket purchase shall be deemed to hold the winning Entry.
AWARD OF 19 PRIZE(S) TO OFFICIAL WINNER(S): A Prize will be awarded to each Potential Winner who has been designated by Sponsor as an Official Winner up to the limit of 19 Prizes. All Prizes may be redeemed by the Official Winners at Fenway Park at time and date to be arranged by the Red Sox Foundation.
Each Official Winner shall be solely responsible for his/her own transportation and other to collect travel costs associated with his/her attendance or delivery of their prize.
TAXES: All federal, state and local income taxes are the sole responsibility of each Raffle winner. The taxable value of the Prize may be treated as ordinary income to the winner for federal and state income tax purposes, and each winner will be required by law to pre-pay a portion of the tax liability incurred in connection with his/her receipt of the Prize before receiving his/her Prize from Sponsor.
