Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation Rules of Participation and Operation for Playoff Raffles
ROCKET DE LAVAL
(RACJ license #L-00384)
ELIGIBILITY
-
Participation is reserved exclusively to people who are 18 years of age or older and are physically located in the province of Quebec when purchasing tickets.
The following individuals are not eligible to participate in the raffles: Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation (“Foundation”) employees and volunteers assigned to the raffle, employees and volunteers of the company supplying the draw technology, and individuals serving on the Foundation’s Board of Directors, any person with whom these employees and individuals reside and the immediate family of said employees and individuals.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
-
Tickets are sold through an online platform (5050.rocketlaval.com) administered by employees of the Foundation as well as by volunteers during Laval Rocket games at the Place Bell.
Ticket buyers who purchase in person at Laval Rocket games will receive their printed ticket listing their numbers associated with the purchased tickets. When purchased through the online platform, ticket buyers receive a digital stub by email listing the numbers associated with the package purchased.
The corresponding individual ticket numbers are collected simultaneously for the random number generator electronic winning ticket draw.
Clients will be required to provide their contact information to participate.
It is essential for participants to keep the printed coupon from their in-person transaction, or the digital receipt received by email when purchasing through the online platform, as proof of purchase. This proof of purchase will be required from the participant whose number is selected during the draw in order to claim their prize.
DRAWING AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE WINNER
-
The winning ticket will be drawn on May 25, 2025, or at the end of the last game of the divisional final between the Laval Rocket and the Rochester Americans, whichever comes first. This information will be communicated on the online sales platform website (5050.rocketlaval.com) and printed on the participant's ticket.
The winning number and details on the drawn prize will be announced on the online platform website (5050.rocketlaval.com) following the draw.
In the event that the advertised (displayed) number and the official winning number are not identical, the latter shall prevail.
The holder of the ticket containing the winning raffle number must claim their prize by contacting the Foundation by telephone or email. They will need to forward their purchase confirmation email (if purchased online) or producing their printed ticket (if purchased in person), in addition to providing a government-issued photo identification. The holder of the winning ticket will have fourteen (14) business days from the time of the announcement to claim the prize. The Foundation will also use the contact information provided by the ticket purchaser to attempt to contact them.
If the person holding the winning number selected does not claim their prize within the fourteen (14) business days period, the prize amount will be invested in a Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation program approved by the Regie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec.
The winner must complete a declaration and release form before taking possession of their prize.
The 50/50 prize (winning prize) will consist in 50% of the gross revenue received from all tickets sold on each 50/50 raffle event. In the event of a discrepancy between the announced (displayed) amount and the official amount raised, the latter shall prevail.
If a minimum amount is guaranteed for the price of a print, the online sales platform's website will display this amount at the start of sales.
Select raffles will also feature one or multiple Early Bird or secondary prizes, which will be outlined on the online platform website. For raffles that include Early Bird or secondary prizes, all tickets purchased prior to the purchase deadline will be eligible to win those prizes. All eligibility conditions, draw and notification to the prize winner information, as well as other general conditions and publicity release details listed in this document, will apply.
All winning raffle ticket numbers for Early Bird prizes will remain entered into the draw for the cash prize for the 50/50 raffle that the ticket was purchased for.
50/50 cash prize winnings will be paid by cheque within 60 business days following the prize claim.
Once claimed, the retrieval of Early Bird and secondary prizes will be coordinated with the winner by a member of the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation team. The Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation will handle the shipment of the physical Early Bird prizes to the winners. However, the Foundation will not be responsible for covering any costs related to duty or import taxes or other associated fees that may be incurred upon receiving the prizes.
Prizes, including early bird and secondary prizes, are not transferable and must be accepted as awarded without substitution, except at the sole discretion of the Foundation.
Only the holder of the winning ticket may claim a prize.
The Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation assumes no responsibility for any other person who claims an interest or right to receive the prize or any portion of the prize associated with the winning ticket.
Chances of winning depend on the total number of tickets sold.
Tickets are subject to verification by raffle organizers. All fraudulent tickets will automatically be removed from the draw and not give right to a prize. Unauthorized persons copying, selling or altering tickets are subject to prosecution. A raffle ticket will be void if there is proof that the ticket was stolen, not issued, ineligible, altered, counterfeit, defective, printed in duplicate, or printed/produced in error.
OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
All ticket sales are final. There will be no refunds issued to anyone for any reason. Once the raffle numbers on purchased tickets are entered into the draw, those tickets cannot be refunded, including in cases where the purchaser made an error in selecting the ticket package they desire to purchase.
No official tax receipt will be issued for the purchase of raffle tickets, as required by the Canada Revenue Agency.
If the integrity of the raffle is compromised in any way, the Foundation will notify the Regie des alcools, des courses et des jeux du Québec (RACJ) and consult the RACJ on how to best move forward. The Foundation must receive RACJ approval prior to cancelling the raffle and/or modifying the raffle rules.
