TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Eligibility: To be eligible, you must be at least 18 years old at the time of purchase. To enter the raffle, a person must hold at least one raffle ticket, but may enter the drawing with multiple tickets. A ticket purchased by an ineligible person is void, and cannot be a winning ticket.
Winner Selection: The raffle will end at 4 p.m. CST on Sunday, December 3, and the winners will be announced at 4:30 p.m. CST at the beginning of the Victorian Bed Races. The winner does not have to be present to win and will be contacted after the event with prize details. Verification of winners is subject to verification by Galveston Historical Foundation, whose decisions are final and binding in all matters related to the Raffle. An entrant is not a winner unless and until the entrant’s eligibility has been verified and the entrant has been notified that verification is complete. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of these official rules, and winning is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. The potential winner will be notified by email or phone. If a potential prize winner cannot be contacted such potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event the prize winner is disqualified for any reason, Galveston Historical Foundation will award the prize to an alternate winner by random drawing among all remaining eligible entries.

Galveston Historical Foundation’s failure to enforce any term of these official rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Prize packages are for one individual.
