Official Rules: 2019 Operation ReConnect – ‘The Deployer’ Official Rules: Operation ReConnect (OPRC), a Florida nonprofit corporation and tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is conducting ‘The Deployer’ 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 Operation ReConnect’s interpretation and application of these Rules is conclusive and final.

The Grand Prize Drawing for the Raffle will take place on November 11th, 2019 (the “Grand Prize Drawing Date”). The final ticket purchase deadline for entry is November 11th, 2019 (the “Final Ticket Purchase Deadline”). All drawings are open to the public, but the winner need not be present to win.

Tickets. Raffle ticket cost is $20 for one entry, or ten (10) entries for $100 or fifty (50) entries for $500. 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 ticket. 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 OPRC 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 OPRC awards the prize to the first person named on a ticket, OPRC 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 OPRC 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.
