Overview: The Los Angeles Rams Foundation ("Foundation") will conduct 50/50 RAFFLES at Los Angeles Rams ("Rams") home games to be held at SoFi Stadium.
A 50/50 RAFFLE is a raffle where the prize to the winning ticket holder is one-half (or 50%) of the gross receipts generated from the sale of raffle tickets at a single Rams game. The remaining one-half (or 50%) of the gross receipts is retained by the Foundation to benefit or support its charitable purposes.
All Los Angeles Rams Foundation 50/50 RAFFLE tickets, transactions, participants, purchasers and winners are subject to these Official Rules, and to all applicable statutes, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the State of California Penal Code and the California Bureau of Gambling Control rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and all other applicable rules and regulations adopted by any regulatory and/or enforcement agency having jurisdiction with respect to the activities to which these Official Rules apply.
The 50/50 RAFFLES will be operated exclusively by the Foundation.
Ticket Purchase: The Los Angeles Rams Foundation 50/50 RAFFLE fundraisers will be conducted at select Rams home games at SoFi Stadium during the 2022 NFL season. Raffle tickets will be sold from the time the stadium gates open through the 2 minute warning in the 4th quarter. The winning number and final jackpot total will be posted therams.com/5050. Raffle tickets can be purchased from roving raffle ticket sellers throughout SoFi Stadium. Each ticket seller shall be wearing a 5050 raffle uniform bearing the 5050 raffle logo.
Entry: Tickets may be purchased with credit card in United States dollars (U.S. $) as follows:
- 6 for $30
- 60 for $60
- 360 for $100
- 860 for $200
Raffle tickets will be sold only in areas where an event ticket is required for admission to view the game. Each ticket is a receipt for the purchaser and represents one (1) entry for that game's 50/50 RAFFLE and is not eligible for any past or future 50/50 RAFFLE drawing. The Foundation is not responsible for printing errors in any raffle-related material or any misdirected, incomplete, lost, late or illegible tickets or other errors or problems that may limit the entrant's ability to participate in or win any 50/50 RAFFLE.
False or deceptive entries or acts by the purchaser will render the purchaser ineligible. Entrants may purchase as many tickets as they wish, subject to availability. A raffle ticket is not transferrable or assignable from its purchaser to any other person. All sales of raffle tickets are final; no refunds will be made under any circumstances. Raffle ticket purchases are not tax deductible.
The Foundation has the right to suspend the raffle at any time during the scheduled game due to any unforeseen incidents that result in the Foundation being unable to conduct the 50/50 RAFFLE (for example, weather delay, power outage, emergency, or other unforeseeable circumstances). In that case, the raffle ticket sales will terminate and the raffle drawing will be postponed until the unforeseen incident no longer interferes with the conduct of the 50/50 RAFFLE.
Eligibility: The Los Angeles Rams Foundation 50/50 RAFFLE is open to all ticket holders to Los Angeles Rams home games who: (i) are eighteen (18) years of age or older as of the date of entry; (ii) are physically present at SoFi Stadium; and (iii) provide valid government-issued identification. By purchasing a raffle ticket, the entrant agrees to abide by all terms of these Official Rules applicable thereto subject to all federal, state, local and municipal laws and regulations. Some restrictions apply. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.
No person affiliated with the Foundation, the Rams or a registered manufacturer and distributor of raffle-related products or services used for the 50/50 RAFFLES, including any affiliated person, any employee or agent, or their immediate family member, may participate in any 50/50 RAFFLE as a raffle ticket purchaser or receive a raffle prize.
Drawing: Every transaction will be electronically tallied. The running total will be periodically displayed and updated in real time on the scoreboards and video displays and/or at various locations throughout SoFi Stadium. The winning ticket number will be drawn by hand out of the raffle drum that contains every raffle number ticket that has printed throughout the game as the corresponding raffle tickets were sold throughout SoFi Stadium. Raffle sales will end at the conclusion of the 3rd quarter and the drawing will happen on or about the beginning of the 4th quarter. Ticket holders need not be present to win. The winner need not be present to claim his/her prize. One (1) winner will be chosen out of the pool of purchased tickets for that game. The decisions of the Foundation are final and binding on all matters relating to any raffle.
Winner Notification: The winning ticket number will be posted on therams.com/5050. In the case of a discrepancy between the announced number and the actual number, the actual number drawn will be considered to be the valid winning ticket. Your raffle ticket includes the email address community@rams.nfl.com and the phone number 818-338-0011 that you can contact to learn the winning raffle number at the end of the game. The winning number will also be posted on therams.com/ 5050 within three (3) business days of the game date. The Foundation has no obligation to contact the winning ticket holder directly.
Prize: Each prize is payable via check from the Foundation and the winning amount depends on the sales of the raffle tickets. Each winning prize, in the form of a check, shall be paid to each raffle winner within four (4) to six (6) weeks of the claim date via U.S. mail once the potential winner has provided all documentation required by the Foundation and by applicable law. Each raffle winner will receive one-half (1/2) of the total gross receipts collected by the Foundation for the 50/50 RAFFLE on the applicable game day. No substitutes for the cash prize will be allowed.
To claim your winning prize, potential winners should email 5050@rams.nfl.com with a photo of the winning ticket. The purchased Los Angeles Rams Foundation 50/50 RAFFLE ticket is the only valid receipt for claiming a prize and must be redeemed in person. The potential raffle winner will be required to submit his/her valid social security number and appropriate identification to the Foundation and will be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability and Publicity Release and all applicable tax forms.
Failure to submit any identification or failure to return required documents to the Foundation within the specified time period, noncompliance with these Official Rules, or return of any prize or prize notification as undeliverable, may result in disqualification and the prize being forfeited. Any forfeited prize money will be retained by the Foundation. Potential winners may also choose to waive their right to receive a prize at which time the prize from that drawing will be forfeited and the prize money will be retained by the Foundation.
All raffle winners will be subject to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and California Franchise Tax Board rules and regulations regarding gambling winnings. The Foundation must comply with all reporting requirements on the prize amounts imposed by state, local and/or federal laws. Each winner assumes all responsibility for any state, local or federal taxes, fees or other government assessments on the prize amount. Federal tax law requires that a tax withholding on certain raffle prize values must be collected from the winner before distribution of the prize. Each winner is advised to consult his/her own tax advisor(s) with respect to the liabilities that may arise from winning a prize in the 50/50 RAFFLE.
All Los Angeles Rams Foundation 50/50 RAFFLE winners will have until thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the applicable game date to claim their prize. If a prize remains unclaimed after thirty (30) days following the conclusion of the date of the 50/50 RAFFLE, the unclaimed prize money will be retained by the Foundation.
The Foundation and the Rams are not responsible for any lost or stolen 50/50 RAFFLE tickets.
