Official Rules — Stay Fresh Freeze Dryer Raffle

Sponsored by: Backyard Homestead Marketplace

1. Raffle Overview

The Backyard Homestead Marketplace is conducting a charitable raffle for the opportunity to win a Stay Fresh Brand Standard Model Freeze Dryer, including a commercial vacuum pump and accessory package (collectively, the "Prize").

A maximum of 150 raffle chances will be available.

Each raffle chance is $25.00.

The maximum amount collected from the sale of all 150 chances is $3,750.00.

The raffle drawing will be conducted only after all 150 raffle chances have been sold and payment has been received for all entries.

2. How to Enter

Raffle chances may be purchased:

• In person through the nonprofit's authorized sales location using the organization's Shopify point-of-sale system; or
• Online through the organization's Shopify online store using the designated raffle product.

Each purchase of one raffle chance constitutes one entry into the drawing.

Purchasers may purchase multiple chances, subject to the availability of the remaining raffle chances.

There will be no more than 150 total raffle chances sold for this drawing.

The same pool of 150 chances will include both in-person and online purchases.

3. Raffle Entry Records

The nonprofit will maintain an electronic sales record of all raffle chances purchased.

Individual customer-facing ticket numbers will not be issued. Each paid raffle chance recorded in the nonprofit's official sales records represents one entry into the drawing.

Shopify order and payment records may be used as part of the nonprofit's official record of raffle entries.

The nonprofit will maintain records sufficient to establish the total number of chances sold and the identity of purchasers associated with those entries.

4. Drawing

The winning entry will be selected by a random drawing from all eligible, paid raffle entries.

The drawing will occur after all 150 raffle chances have been sold and all corresponding payments have been received.

The drawing date and time will be announced by the nonprofit after the final raffle chance has been sold.

The odds of winning depend upon the total number of eligible entries purchased. If all 150 chances are sold, a purchaser with one entry has a 1-in-150 chance of being selected, while purchasers with multiple entries have a proportionally greater chance of being selected.

5. Prize

The winner will receive:

Stay Fresh Brand Standard Model Freeze Dryer
Commercial Vacuum Pump
Accessory Package

The Prize is being offered as a complete package as described above.

The Prize is subject to availability and the manufacturer's applicable specifications, warranties, and terms.

No cash substitution will be provided unless determined by the nonprofit in its sole discretion.

The Prize may not be transferred or substituted by the winner except as permitted by the nonprofit.

6. Winner Notification

The winner will be contacted using the contact information provided at the time of purchase.

The winner may be required to provide reasonable identification and any information necessary to verify eligibility and claim the Prize.

If the selected winner cannot be contacted, is determined to be ineligible, or fails to claim the Prize within the period specified by the nonprofit, the nonprofit may conduct a subsequent random drawing from the remaining eligible entries, subject to applicable law.

Participants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of entry.

If the raffle is cancelled before the drawing, the nonprofit will handle refunds and/or other disposition of entry payments in accordance with applicable law.
