Three separate presenting donations to the Central California Blood Center (“CCBC”) are required by November 30, 2022 for your chance of winning.
1. Promotion Description. The CCBC Aaron Judge Triple Play Raffle (the “Raffle”) consists of drawings December 5, 2022 for 1st , 2nd and 3rd place winners. The sponsor of the Raffle wishes to remain anonymous (“Sponsor”). The Raffle shall be subject to these Official Rules, and, by entering, all participants agree to be bound by the terms and conditions herein and by all decisions of Sponsor and CCBC, which are final and legally binding in all matters relating to this Raffle. In the event that there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any materials (including, without limitation, advertisements) and these Official Rules, the terms in these Official Rules shall prevail, govern, and control. Entry by donor constitutes acceptance of all Official Rules.
2. Eligibility. The Raffle is open to individuals who:
a. are legal U.S. residents physically residing in the 50 United States (includes DC); and
b. are at least 18 years of age and have reached the age of majority in their state of residence. Employees, officers, directors, agents, independent contractors and representatives of Sponsor or CCBC and their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, wholesalers, retailers, distributers, advertising and promotion agencies, and their immediate family members (mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife, daughter, son, step-father, step-mother, step-daughter, step-son, step-brother, step-sister, half-brother, half-sister) and/or those living in the same household of each are not eligible. The Raffle is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.
3. Entry Periods. A qualifying entry in the Raffle may only be made between May 2, 2022 and November 30, 2022 (“Entry Period”). Such entries have a chance to win the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place prize. Sponsor has the ability to add more than one 2nd and 3rd place prize in its sole discretion.
4. How to Enter. There is one way to enter the Raffle, which is by presenting to donate at a CCBC donor center or mobile blood drive located in California and completing three (3) presenting donations during the Entry Period. (For locations, please visit www.donateblood.org). Donors will be tracked and logged by CCBC and will be automatically entered into the Raffle after their three (3) presenting donations. Specifically, eligible entrants who present to donate three (3) times during the Raffle Period will receive one (1) entry into the drawings for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. To be a donor, individuals must meet the minimum qualifications to donate. (Please visit donateblood.org for donor requirements.)
Entries must be submitted through a donation method (presenting donations) during the Entry Period. Limit one (1) entry and one (1) winning prize per person during the Entry Period regardless if the number of presenting blood donations exceeds three (3) in the Entry Period. Any attempt by any person to obtain more than one entry by using multiple names or any other methods will void all of that person’s entries for the Raffle, and that person will be disqualified. Sponsor and CCBC are not responsible for lost, late, illegible, corrupted, or misdirected entries. Entries become the property of CCBC and will not be returned. Participants will be given a baseball type card on their first presenting blood donation (“Card”), and a CCBC stamp will be placed on the card to represent the particular presenting blood donation (“Stamp”) with a total of three Stamps representing 3 presenting blood donations for entry in the Raffle. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stamps are not the official record of entry or presenting blood donations for the Raffle, but an informal manner for the participant to keep track in a fun way of their number of presenting blood donations. The only official and valid record of presenting blood donations for the Raffle shall be maintained by CCBC.
5. Prize and Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”). One (1) entrant will be randomly computer selected as a potential winner for each of the prizes. The following are the prizes:
