Rules
Eligibility
Purchaser, and anyone to whom a purchaser legally transfers a ball must be 21 years or older at time of purchase/transfer. Purchaser may enter more than once and need not be a resident of the state of Arizona. Only one (1) individual may be identified as an entry owner. Entries may be purchased via the Internet at www.givethroughgolf.com . Ball purchase confirmation will be immediately forwarded to the e-mail provided. By entering Give Through Golf events, the purchaser acknowledges that he or she is aware of, and agrees to abide by, Give Through Golf Rules. The player is responsible for determining the legality of Internet raffles in the player’s place of residence or location from where the player is accessing the website and abiding by those laws. The Website and its management will not be held liable if the laws of your locale prohibit this type of activity.
All federal, state and local laws and regulations apply. Void where prohibited by law.
Ball Drop
A maximum number of golf balls will be sold for the price of $20 (US) each online or by phone. All golf ball purchases are final and non-refundable. The specific numbers of the golf balls purchased for the Virtual Ball Drop will be generated at the time of the sale and forwarded via email to the purchaser-provided email address.
Winners will be determined using a random number generator program and be inserted into a custom animation to be viewed online, or at an accompanying event. The random number generator program will be run to determine the winner of the prizes. Four (4) numbers, in total, will be generated to determine, in the order of the number generated, first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd) and fourth (4th) place winners. In the event the original prize-winner cannot be located after a period of 30 days as provided below or should the prize winner refuse the prize within the same period, Give Through Golf will generate an entirely new number using Give Through Golf rules and our random number generator. The random number generator program will be created by one party and verified by another party. The determination of the prize-winner will be audited by various representatives who will attest to the winning results. The results will be sealed and kept by an independent third party. Using third party verification, Give Through Golf will then customize our ball drop animation to include the winning number(s). The animation will only be available on the determined event end-date and viewable via web-link.
