The one (1) individual in possession of the applicable Raffle ticket randomly selected will receive fifty percent (50%) of the gross proceeds from the Raffle ticket sales for the applicable Raffle Period (the "Award"). Administrative fees will be deducted from the remaining Raffle proceeds, and the residual proceeds provided to the Charity may then also be further distributed to third parties at the sole discretion of the Charity. Each Raffle Period, and all tickets, transactions, participants, purchasers, and the Award recipients are subject to these Terms and Conditions, and to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including but not limited to the rules and regulations set forth by the Louisiana Office of Charitable Gaming, and all other applicable rules and regulations adopted by any regulator and/or enforcement agency having jurisdiction with respect to the activities to which these Terms and Conditions apply.

The purchase of a Saints football game ticket or any other item from the Saints is not required to participate in the Raffle. Participant need not be present to redeem or obtain an Award. All Raffle ticket purchases must be completed by the end of the applicable Raffle Period. The Charity and any related entities are not liable for any lost, late, misdirected, incomplete, illegible, undelivered, or destroyed tickets regardless of cause or person responsible including, but not limited to, any problem or technical malfunction of any computer, online system or server, or technical problem or traffic congestion on the Internet. When purchasing one or more Raffle tickets within the App or Website, the End User License Agreement or the terms and conditions governing your interaction with the App or Website (as the case may be), the Saints' Privacy Policy (https://www.neworleanssaints.com/privacypolicy), and any service provider terms and conditions pertaining to Raffle ticket purchases made through the App or Website, shall apply in addition to these Terms and Conditions. Any personally identifiable information collected during a Participant's purchase of a Raffle ticket will be collected on behalf of the Charity and the Saints for purposes of the proper administration and fulfillment of the Raffle as described in these Terms and Conditions and for commercial purposes in accordance with the Saints' Privacy Policy. Opting-in to specific offers and/or requests to receive further communication from Charity, Saints, or any other entity does not improve one's chances of winning.

4. RAFFLE DRAWINGS: One (1) Raffle ticket number will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible Raffle tickets purchased during each Raffle Period. Non-winning Raffle tickets from a Raffle Period will not be eligible or included in any subsequent Raffle Period drawings. The drawing will be held on or about the beginning of the fourth quarter of each applicable Saints football game and the winner will be randomly and automatically selected by the Raffle software system, whose decisions are final and binding. The selected Raffle tickets will each be posted on NewOrleansSaints.com/community/5050/ and, time permitting, announced via in-game video boards for Saints home games.

5. CLAIMING AN AWARD: To claim an Award, the holder of the randomly selected winning Raffle ticket number (an "Award Claimant") must contact Charity by calling 504-733-0255 and following the instructions provided to present or deliver the winning Raffle ticket to Charity within thirty (30) days of the applicable drawing. Each Award Claimant must provide Charity with all information required to claim an Award (including, but not limited to, tax identification information). The Award Claimant will receive an Award-Acceptance Affidavit and Release ("Affidavit") which must be executed and returned to Charity within thirty (30) days and prior to disbursement of the applicable Award. In the event an Award Claimant: (a) does not notify Charity or claim an Award within thirty (30) days of the applicable Raffle drawing; (b) is ruled ineligible for any reason; (c) refuses the Award; or (d) does not return an executed Affidavit within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Affidavit, the Award will be forfeited and will be retained by Charity. Charity has no obligation to contact any potential award recipients. All awards will be delivered via check within thirty (30) days of the Award Claimant delivering the winning Raffle ticket, executed Affidavit, and all other required documents to Charity. For security and safety reasons, no cash payments will be made to any Award Claimants. Unclaimed Awards will be retained by the Charity for its charitable purposes.

6. ODDS: The odds of receiving an Award will be dependent on the total number of Raffle tickets purchased throughout each Raffle Period.

7. TAXES: Each Participant acknowledges that they understand the Internal Revenue Service has taken the position that amounts paid for chance-based raffle tickets, lottery tickets, or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of a ticket to participate in this Raffle does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution. The Award recipient will be solely responsible for any and all federal, state, and local taxes, fees, and other government assessments on the dollar amount of award provided to them. Furthermore, each Award recipient acknowledges that federal and state laws require that a tax withholding on certain award values must be collected from Award recipients upon Award or distribution. Federal and state withholding laws are subject to change without notice. The withholding laws in effect at the time each Award is claimed will be followed.

8. TRANSFER OF RAFFLE TICKET: Persons who purchase a Raffle ticket may opt to give away or transfer their Raffle ticket to other eligible persons free of charge, but in doing so the purchaser/transferor of the applicable Raffle ticket(s) waives any claim they might otherwise have to any potential Award. A purchaser of any Raffle tickets may not re-sell their Raffle ticket to other parties, and may not give their Raffle ticket away to others for the purpose of allowing those other parties to re-sell such Raffle ticket. Any Raffle ticket which has been resold shall be void. All individuals who re-sell, purchase, or receive a Raffle ticket in violation of these Terms and Conditions shall be ineligible to participate in the Raffle or receive an Award.

9. PARTICIPANT'S GRANT OF LICENSE: By participating in the Raffle or accepting an Award, each Participant hereby irrevocably and perpetually grants to the Charity, Saints, and each of their designees, a worldwide license to use, publish, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, and publicly display participant's name and any images or likenesses taken or captured of the Participant in connection with their participating in the Raffle or receiving an Award (collectively, the "Images"), in any form, media, or content which now or hereafter exists, for advertising, promotional, or any other commercial purposes as well as non-commercial purposes. Each Participant waives any compensation for any use of such Images. Each Participant waives all rights to the use of their identity under Louisiana law on behalf of themselves and their successors, executor, heirs, legatees, assigns, licensees, and any and all of their authorized representatives under law.

11. DISPUTES AND GOVERNING LAW: The Raffle shall be governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rule of any jurisdiction. Any claims regarding the Raffle that are not released, must be brought in the State or Federal Courts in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Participant hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for purposes of any such action. The Raffle is void outside the state of Louisiana and where prohibited by law. Each Participant agrees that: (i) any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action not waived arising out of or in connection with the Raffle, or any award provided, shall be resolved individually, without resorting to any form of class action; (ii) any and all claims, judgments, and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Raffle, but in no event attorneys' fees; and (iii) under no circumstances will Participant be permitted to obtain awards for, and Participant hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental, and consequential damages, and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased.
