Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, Inc. ("BGCMD"), a Colorado nonprofit corporation and tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is conducting the Denver Dream Adventure Raffle (the "Raffle") to raise funds for its ongoing charitable activities and purposes. The rules (the "Rules") of the Raffle, set forth below, govern the Raffle, award of prizes, and participation in the Raffle.
These Rules bind every person (a "Ticket Holder") who buys or holds a Raffle ticket. By purchasing or holding a ticket, each Ticket Holder agrees (a) to be bound by these Rules and (b) that BGCMD's interpretation and application of these Rules is conclusive and final.
The Grand Prize Drawing for the Raffle will take place on November 8, 2024 (the "Grand Prize Drawing Date") at 9 a.m. The final ticket purchase deadline for entry is October 25, 2024 (the "Final Ticket Purchase Deadline"). Only 30,000 main raffle tickets will be sold. As set forth in the "Prize" section below, the number of main tickets sold determines the Grand Prize that BGCMD will award.
The Grand Prize Drawing is open to the public, but the winner need not be present to win.
Main Raffle Tickets are one for $50, 3-packs for $125, and 6-packs for $200.
Weekly Add-On Tickets are one for $20, 3-packs for $50, and 6-packs for $75.
50/50 Add-On Tickets are one for $20, 3-packs for $50, and 6-packs for $75.

A Super Value Pack is available for purchase and includes an 8-pack of Raffle Tickets, a 12-pack of Weekly Add-On Tickets, and a 20-pack of 50/50 Add-On Tickets for $500.
Between 8/26/2024 and 9/20/2024, any multi-pack order received that uses the promo code DREAM10 during an order will receive a 4-pack of Raffle Tickets for $125, an 8-pack of Raffle Tickets for $200, a Value Pack with a 9-pack of Raffle Tickets and a 14-pack of Weekly Add-On Tickets for $350, or a Super Value Pack with a 9-pack of Raffle Tickets and a 14-pack of Weekly Add-On Tickets and a 23-pack of 50/50 Add-On Tickets for $500.
Between 9/28/2024 and 10/18/2024, any multi-pack order received that uses the promo code DREAM20 during an order will receive a 4-pack of Raffle Tickets for $125, an 8-pack of Raffle Tickets for $200, a Value Pack with a 9-pack of Raffle Tickets and a 14-pack of Weekly Add-On Tickets for $350, or a Super Value Pack with a 9-pack of Raffle Tickets and a 14-pack of Weekly Add-On Tickets and a 23-pack of 50/50 Add-On Tickets for $500.
Multi-packs using promo codes must be purchased during the same order, using one method of payment, using the same name on each ticket and the same mailing address for each eligible ticket. Orders that do not use the aforementioned promo codes during the aforementioned dates, or orders that are received before or after the aforementioned dates are not eligible for a 4-pack, 8-pack, Value Packs, and Super Value Packs as noted above.
Only one Eligible Ticket Purchaser (as defined below in the "Eligibility" section of these Rules) may purchase a ticket. This means, (a) one name per ticket and (b) one purchaser per transaction. An Eligible Ticket Purchaser may designate another person a Ticket Holder. If a ticket names more than one person as a Ticket Holder and that ticket is a winning ticket, then BGCMD will (a) deem the person named first on the ticket as the Ticket Holder, (b) declare the first person named on the ticket as the winner, and (c) award the prize to the first person named on the ticket. In such case, the division of the prize shall be the sole responsibility of the first person named on the ticket. Once BGCMD awards the prize to the first person named on a ticket, BGCMD will have no further duties or obligations with respect to the division of the prize and all persons named on a ticket as Ticket Holders release BGCMD from all claims relating to the award of the prize or its division among other persons on a ticket named as Ticket Holders.
The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances in Raffles, lotteries or similar drawings for valuable prizes are not gifts and therefore do not qualify as deductible charitable contributions.
To be eligible to purchase a ticket, a ticket purchaser (an "Eligible Ticket Purchaser") must (a) be at least 18 years old at the time of purchase, (b) be a Colorado resident physically residing in Colorado, and (c) not be precluded by Applicable Law (as that term is defined in the "Registration with the State of Colorado and Applicable Law" section of these Rules") from holding or purchasing a ticket or participating in a raffle.
A person cannot be an Eligible Ticket Purchaser or a Ticket Holder if such person or holder is a person (a) with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC's Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List") or under any statute or executive order or (b) who is acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any such person.
Tickets may be purchased as gifts for people under 18 years of age ("minors"), but minors may not purchase tickets. If a ticket is purchased by an Eligible Ticket Purchaser who designates a minor or person otherwise under a legal incapacity as the Ticket Holder, then, if that ticket is a winning ticket, then BGCMD reserves the right to require appropriate acknowledgements, approvals, and consents of such person's conservator, guardian, or parent as a condition to the award of the prize to such person. BGCMD employees and immediate family members in the same household and BGCMD Board of Directors may not purchase a ticket and are not eligible to win a prize.
BGCMD employees and immediate family members in the same household and BGCMD Board of Directors may not purchase a ticket and are not eligible to win a prize.
BGCMD reserves the right to require reasonable evidence of the eligibility of an Eligible Ticket Purchaser or Ticket Holder at any time and to void any ticket sold to a person who does not meet the eligibility requirements or who is precluded by applicable law from holding a ticket or participating in a raffle.
Eligible Ticket Purchasers may purchase Raffle tickets online at www.MileHighRaffle.com or make a ticket reservation by calling toll-free 1-888-506-6053. At the time of purchase, Eligible Ticket Purchasers must provide their name, address, phone number, credit card number, credit card security code and expiration date, and such other information as BGCMD may require. Eligible Ticket Purchasers may not purchase tickets by mail, email or voice mail. All entries must include payment by credit card and payment should be received at the time of the ticket order.
Tickets will be distributed and ticket numbers will be assigned in the order that payment is received. All payments will be deposited upon receipt. BGCMD reserves the right to reject any entry form that it deems defective, illegible, ineligible, or submitted without "good funds." In accordance with Applicable Law, BGCMD will not mail Raffle tickets to Ticket Holders. BGCMD will email or mail unofficial raffle tickets as receipts for ticket purchases to the person named on each Raffle ticket entry form within five days of purchase. In the event that Ticket Holders do not receive unofficial raffle tickets by email or mail within five days of purchase, Ticket Holders may contact raffle@bgcmd.org. Hard copies of official tickets are available upon request. To win a prize, Ticket Holders do not need (a) to possess a hard copy of a Raffle ticket or a receipt in order to win and (b) do not need to be present at a drawing.
Each Raffle ticket purchased before a deadline qualifies for all future drawings for which that ticket is eligible. Each winner of a special Early Bird Drawing will be automatically re-entered in all subsequent drawings for which that ticket is eligible.
All Raffle ticket sales are final. BGCMD will make no refunds except under the following circumstances: BGCMD will return any payment that BGCMD receives after (a) it has sold 30,000 tickets or (b) after the Final Ticket Purchase Deadline. No other refunds are available except at the discretion of BGCMD.
BGCMD will draw at random and determine the winning ticket under the supervision of BGCMD's certified games manager(s).
At the discretion of BGCMD and subject to approval of the Colorado Secretary of State, BGCMD may extend or modify ticket purchase deadlines (the Final Ticket Purchase Deadline) and drawing dates, times, and locations. The Raffle winner will be posted on www.MileHighRaffle.com. The BGCMD Certified Games Manager(s) is the final authority in the event of any disputes regarding any of the drawings.
At the Appreciation Drawing, a Raffle ticket will be drawn for prize. The winning ticket from the drawing will be re-entered and will be eligible for all future drawings, including the Grand Prize Drawing.
At the Early Bird Drawing, a Raffle ticket will be drawn for prize. The winning ticket from Early Bird drawing will be re-entered and will be eligible for all future drawings, including the Grand Prize Drawing.
At the Grand Prize Drawing, tickets will be drawn starting with the Add-On Drawing and then a Raffle ticket will be drawn for prizes in reverse chronological order, beginning with the lowest level prize and ending with the Grand Prize.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver Dream Adventure Raffle participants who purchase at least one raffle ticket are eligible to purchase an Add-On ticket in the Add-On Weekly Drawings.
The odds of winning the Grand Prize will depend on the number of tickets sold. If BGCMD sells all 30,000 tickets, the odds of winning the Grand Prize are 1 in 30,000. The chance of winning the Grand Prize, Early Bird Prize, and secondary prizes will vary based upon the number of tickets sold, and if BGCMD sells less than 30,000 tickets or adds additional drawings or prizes, the chance of winning a prize will increase.
Grand Prize If 12,000 Tickets Sold: If BGCMD sells 12,000 main raffle tickets by the Final Ticket Purchase Deadline, then the grand prize (the "Grand Prize") awarded to the winner (the "Grand Prizewinner") will be either (a) a lump sum cash prize of $100,000 (the "Cash Grand Prize"), or (b) the choice between a Mercedes Sprinter Van Custom Conversion, Rivian R1S, or a Ford F-150 Raptor (the "Vehicle Grand Prize"). The manner in which the Grand Prizewinner elects the Cash Grand Prize, or the Vehicle Grand Prize, is set forth below in the "Additional Rules Applicable to Grand Prizewinner" section of these Rules.
Grand Prize If Less Than 12,000 Tickets Sold: If BGCMD sells less than 12,000 main raffle tickets by the Final Ticket Purchase Deadline, the raffle will be held as scheduled, and prizes will be awarded as advertised with the exception that the Grand Prize winner will receive a choice between sum equal to 50% of the Net Raffle Proceeds paid as an annuity over 25 years, not to exceed $130,000 or a onetime cash payment of 70% of the annuity value, not to exceed $100,000. As used herein, the term "Net Raffle Proceeds" means (a) the gross proceeds received by BGCMD received from the sale of tickets in the Raffle less (b) payment of all other prizes (whether or not claimed or awarded in the Raffle) and all Raffle-related expenses as determined by BGCMD. The determination by BGCMD will be binding in all events other than a manifest error made by BGCMD in the computation of the revenues and expenses of the Raffle.
