local laws.

1. Eligibility. The Raffle is open only to those who purchase a Raffle ticket and who are

46619 or from participating LEGION members and locations. Tickets are $50 apiece.

Each purchased Raffle ticket is eligible to win each week. Winning tickets will be

reentered into the drawing pool for subsequent weeks, unless the ticket holder is

determined to be an ineligible Raffle entrant. If a winning ticket holder is unable to pass

a NICS background check or is otherwise determined to be ineligible, their ticket will be

withdrawn from the drawing pool and not be eligible for the drawing in subsequent

weeks. DO NOT PURCHASE A RAFFLE TICKET IF YOU ARE INELIGIBLE,

BY FEDERAL OR STATE LAW, TO OWN, POSSESS, OR PURCHASE A

FIREARM.

It is possible for one ticket to win every prize.

3. Drawings. Raffle Drawings will occur each week at LEGION’s address, American

the first Wednesday after the last ticket is sold, and be held each Wednesday for 26

consecutive weeks.

·         4. Prize. Each week, one winning Raffle ticket will be selected via a random draw from

all eligible Raffle tickets to receive a certificate for the firearm or firearm(s) listed for that

week in the Raffle schedule. The prize value will vary from week to week, but never be

less than $400. If a winner is ineligible to receive the weekly firearm, their ticket will be

withdrawn as stated in Section 2, and the price of their ticket will be refunded to them. A

person who is ineligible to receive a firearm will not receive any sort of alternative prize,

and the prize certificate they were awarded may be redrawn for in the subsequent weekly

Raffle drawing or voided entirely at the discretion of LEGION. DO NOT PURCHASE

A RAFFLE TICKET IF YOU ARE INELIGIBLE, BY FEDERAL OR STATE

LAW, TO OWN, POSSESS, OR PURCHASE A FIREARM.
