Eligibility. The Raffle is open only to those who purchase a Raffle ticket and who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry. The Raffle is open to the legal residents of the Continental United States and is void where prohibited by law. IF YOU DO NOT MEET ANY OF THESE REQUIREMENTS, OR ANY OTHER ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS IN THESE OFFICIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO WIN A RAFFLE PRIZE, AND YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A PRIZE, EVEN IF YOUR TICKET IS DRAWN.

Tickets. Raffle tickets for entry into the weekly drawing may be purchased in person from LEGION at American Legion Post 357, 5414 W. Sample St., South Bend, IN 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holder is unable to pass a NICS background check or is otherwise determined to be ineligible, their ticket will be withdrawn from the drawing pool and not be eligible for the drawing in subsequent weeks.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.

Drawings. Raffle Drawings will occur each week at LEGION’s address, American Legion Post 357, 5414 W. Sample St., South Bend, IN 46619. Drawings will begin on the first Thursday at 6:00 PM after the last ticket is sold, and be held each subsequent Thursday at the same time for 26 consecutive weeks.

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 $300. If a winner is ineligible to receive the weekly firearm, their ticket will be withdrawn as stated in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.
