Big Raffle Official Rules

  • All Big Raffle proceeds benefit the New Hampshire Automotive Education Foundation (“NHAEF”) an IRS 501(c)(3) charity registered with the NH Dept. of Justice.
  • How Winners are selected: Winners will be selected on March 8, 2023. Each numbered ticket shall have a ball with a matching number. The balls will be pulled from a cage holding all 1,000 balls using a random reverse drawing method. All 1,000 balls will not be drawn; instead, the number of balls drawn shall be equal to the number of NHADA Partners as of 3/8/2023. All Partners will be listed on the NHAEF website and the number of balls to be drawn will also be announced at the beginning of the Big Raffle. It is anticipated that the number of balls drawn will be less than 70. The final ball drawn (and the matching ticket number) shall be the sole winner of the $25,000 GRAND PRIZE. Each of the other balls drawn will have a random prize tied to it. Winners do not need to be present to win.
  • Odds of winning the $25,000 GRAND prize are 1:1000. This prize is void where prohibited.
