Western National Land Rover Rally 2004 Land Rover Discovery Raffle Presented by Northern California Land Rover Club OFFICIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS The Northern California Land Rover Club (NCLR), a tax-exempt organization under Section 501©(7) of the Internal Revenue Code, is conducting this raffle pursuant to California Penal Code Section 320.5, et seq, to raise funds for ongoing charitable purposes. The Rules and Regulations of the NCLR raffle are set forth below. By purchasing a raffle ticket, the purchaser agrees to be bound by these rules and regulations. NCLR’s interpretation and application of the rules and regulations shall be final. The raffle prize is a previously-owned and modified 2004 Land Rover Discovery, valued at $10,000.00 USD. There are no additional prizes associated with this raffle drawing. The drawing will be conducted by NCLR on September 15, 2018 at the 2018 Western National Land Rover Rally (Rally). Tickets may be purchased in person, on-site during the Rally. Properly completed order forms with valid payment must be received by NCLR by 10:00 pm PST to be eligible to win. The winner must be present to win. Participants must be 18 years of age or older as of the prize drawing, be a member of NCLR, be an individual legally residing in the United States, and be a licensed driver. A maximum of 10,000 tickets will be sold. The chance of winning the raffle prize will be 1 out of how ever many tickets are sold; if fewer tickets than 10,000 are sold, the odds of winning will improve. There is no limitation on the number of tickets any one individual may purchase, up to the 10,000 tickets available. 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. The winner assumes all fees, local, sales tax, state and federal taxes (including, but not limited to, income taxes and sales taxes based on the value of the car), and license fees. NCLR takes no responsibility for any tax liabilities. Consult your tax advisor. This offer is void where prohibited or restricted by law, and all federal, state and local laws and regulations apply.
