MAD MAC Foundation, a tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is conducting this raffle pursuant to California Penal Code Section 320.5, et seq, to raise funds for ongoing charitable purposes. The Rules and Regulations of the MAD MAC raffle are set forth below. By purchasing a raffle ticket the purchaser agrees to be bound by these rules and regulations. MAD MAC Foundations interpretation and application of the rules and regulations shall be final. The Grand Prize Drawing for the MAD MAC “Mini Coopers Are MAD MAC” Raffle will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015. Tickets will not be sold after May 8, 2015. Tickets may sell out before that time. An independent raffle auditor will supervise the drawing. The drawing for prizes is open to the public, but the winner does not need to be present to win. Only 5,000 tickets will be sold. The chances of winning are based on that number. If fewer tickets are sold, your chances of winning the Grand Prize and other prizes improve. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances in raffles, lotteries or similar drawings for valuable prizes are not gifts, and consequently do not qualify as deductible charitable contributions. If the Apple Electronic is chosen as the prize, the Grand Prize Winner assumes all fees of the prizes. Likewise, there are federal taxes and there may be state and/or local tax consequences if the winner selects the alternate cash prize (see Prizes section below). These consequences may apply to other prizes as well. MAD MAC takes no responsibility for any tax liabilities. Consult your tax advisor. This offer is void where prohibited by law, and all federal, state and local laws and regulations apply.
