Bourbon Raffle Rules and FAQS!
Please read through the below FAQs for all the rules and regulations pertaining to the 2024 [Re]build Your Bourbon Supply Blanton’s Bourbon raffle.
-
1. Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago (RTMC) is the sponsor of the [Re]build your Bourbon Supply raffle. RTMC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The purpose of the raffle is to raise funds for the operation of RTMC and for the related activities of RTMC.
2. Any person 21 years of age or older, residing where the Raffle is not prohibited, may purchase a Ticket to be entered in the raffle (such person shall be herein known as the “Ticket Holder”). An affidavit of eligibility may be required from Ticket Holders who win a prize. RTMC staff members and their immediate family members (in this instance known as spouses and children) are prohibited from purchasing Tickets.
3. By purchasing a Ticket, each Ticket Holder accepts and agrees to be bound by all the rules, limitations, conditions, and restrictions set forth herein (the “Rules”), as well as all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations. RTMC's decisions in all matters concerning the Raffle and its interpretation and application of the Rules shall be final. Please contact RTMC if you have questions regarding the Rules or the Raffle. The Raffle is void where prohibited by law.
4. By purchasing a Ticket, each Ticket Holder releases RTMC, its directors, officers, employees, and agents, from any and all liability with respect to the Raffle, including, but not limited to, the selection process and the interpretation and application of the Rules, and from any and all liability for injuries, losses, or damages of any kind caused by any prize or resulting from acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any prize, and each Ticket Holder agrees to indemnify and hold RTMC harmless from any and all losses, damages, rights, claims, and actions of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the winner’s acceptance or use of any prize. Each Ticket Holder agrees that their name, likeness, and any statements made by the Ticket Holder regarding the prize may be disclosed to, and used by, the news media and may otherwise be used by RTMC for advertising or publicity purposes without compensation, and in lists of prize winners that may be published in area news publications and other media.
5. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances in raffles, lotteries, or similar drawings for valuable prizes are not gifts, and consequently do not qualify as deductible charitable contributions. A Ticket is not valid and shall not be entered in the Raffle until full and satisfactory payment for such Ticket is received by RTMC. Tickets are not transferable once purchased.
6. If a Ticket Holder’s payment is declined or dishonored by the bank for any reason, such Ticket Holder’s Ticket shall be invalid and will not be entered in the drawing, unless full and satisfactory payment is made before the Raffle end date. RTMC will attempt to notify the invalidated Ticket Holder by phone at the number provided on the ticket purchasing website; however, any failure to do so shall not cause the Ticket to become valid, cause the Ticket to be entered in the Raffle, or give rise to any claim or cause of action on behalf of the invalidated Ticket Holder.
7. In the event that more than one name is listed on a Ticket, the first name listed shall be deemed to be the Ticket Holder. Delivery or payment of the prize shall be made to the Ticket Holder. It is the responsibility of the Ticket Holder to allocate any such prize among the participants in a multiple-party Ticket, and RTMC, its directors, officers, employees, and agents, shall have no liability for any failure to do so.
8. The Raffle Drawings shall take place on Friday, July 26 2024 at Noon CDT. In order to be eligible for the Raffle Drawing, a Ticket Holder must have purchased their Ticket online before the close of the Raffle on Friday, July 26 2024 11am CDT.

9. RTMC shall notify each winning Ticket Holders (a “Winner Notification”) by phone or email based on the information provided when purchasing the Ticket.
10. After receiving a Winner Notification, the winning Ticket Holders have 60 days to retrieve their prize from RTMC. If a winner fails to claim and/or retrieve their prize from RTMC within 60 days after being notified, RTMC shall draw another ticket and award that prize to the new Winner.
