To be eligible to purchase a ticket and/or win any prize, you must be at least 18 years old and physically present in Missouri at the time of purchase.
    • A ticket purchased by an ineligible person is void, and cannot be a winning ticket. No refunds will be made to ineligible purchasers.
    • The determinations of Duchesne are final and binding with respect to any matter arising out of the interpretation or application of these terms and conditions. Duchesne Dream Raffle tickets cost $25 each and are subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances.

      Ticket Details:

    • Tickets will be sold online only.
    • Confirmation of ticket purchase will come with a ticket number.
    • There is no limit to the number of tickets an individual may purchase.
    • A ticket represents a chance to win the opportunity to accept an offer of the stated prize. All sales of tickets are final, and no refunds will be paid, except in Duchesne High School’s sole and absolute discretion.
    • Tickets, prizes, receipts, and any winner’s rights are not transferable.
    • Duchesne High School reserves the right to reject any ticket reservation request that is submitted with payment that does not constitute “good funds.” A ticket issued for a credit card charge that was declined, invalid, stolen, or unauthorized is void and cannot be a winning ticket.
    • All ticket reservations must be received and/or purchased by the indicated deadline(s). Any orders received after these deadlines will be ineligible. Duchesne High School assumes no responsibility for lost, late, misdirected or non-delivered online purchase attempts or any other failure to receive orders prior to the drawing deadlines. Ticket numbers will be electronically assigned.
    • A random number generator will be used to pull the prize-winning numbered tickets.
    • Winner(s) need not be present to win. Winner(s) will be announced by name, not ticket number.
    • Subsequently, winner(s) will also be notified in writing via email with a W-9 form attachment. Each winner must accept the prize “as is” and return the completed W-9 form within 15 days of receipt. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the prize.
    • All proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit Duchesne High School in St. Charles, MO.
    • Tickets are NOT deductible as a charitable donation for federal income tax purposes according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Your ticket makes you eligible for all prizes for which the deadline has not passed, such as the Early Bird and Grand Prize drawings.

    • 5 $500.00 Early Bird drawing prizes. (Winner remains eligible for other prizes as well.)

    • Acceptance of a prize constitutes permission for Duchesne High School to use the winner’s name, picture, video image, and relevant quotes to promote the Duchesne Dream Raffle, and agreement by the winner that the prize will not be used for fundraising for another charity.
    • The winner of each prize shall have no rights in or to the prize itself until the winner has been verified as eligible by Duchesne High School, has timely executed the W-9 and returned it to DHS, and until delivery of the prize to the winner has been completed. Until that time, each prize remains the sole property of Duchesne High School.
