Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, Inc. ("RMHC-SD"), a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is conducting this raffle as allowed under California Penal Code Section 320.5, to raise funds for ongoing charitable purposes. The Rules and Regulations of the RMHC-SD raffle are set forth below. By purchasing a raffle ticket, the purchaser agrees to be bound by these rules and regulations. RMHC-SD's interpretation and application of the rules and regulations shall be final.
All raffle tickets are included in the Grand Prize Drawing. No more than 60,000 raffle tickets will be sold. Tickets will not be sold after 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on July 17, 2025. Tickets may sell out before that time. The Grand Prize Drawing will take place on August 14, 2025, subject to rescheduling, as more particularly described below. An independent auditor will supervise the drawing. Raffle tickets that meet certain eligibility requirements may also be awarded entry or entries into separate bonus drawings for more prizes, such as Early Bird or Multiticket Drawings. Winners need not be present to win a prize in any drawing.
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.

Winners will be notified according to the contact information provided to RMHC-SD at the time of ticket purchase. If the grand prize winner cannot be located by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on August 21, 2025, after RMHC-SD has attempted to contact him or her through the information provided at the time of ticket purchase, the winner will be deemed to have selected the respective one-time cash alternate prize. Another winner will not be selected for such prize.
In order to collect his or her prize, a ticket winner from any drawing may be required to sign and deliver to RMHC-SD: (a) a sworn affidavit of eligibility in accordance with these Rules and applicable law, including, without limitation, that he or she is at least 18 years old; (b) such written information as is required by any applicable tax and/or real estate laws, including, without limitation, his or her Social Security Number; and (c) proof of identity in forms satisfactory to the RMHC-SD showing that the person claiming the prize is the same person who is named on the winning raffle ticket.
A winner of any prize valued at $600 or more may be required to submit a W-2G, Form 5754, Form W-9 or similar tax form for tax reporting and/or withholding purposes. If tax forms are required for a prize win, the completed forms must be received by RMHC-SD no later than December 31, 2025 to claim the prize, otherwise the prize will be considered forfeited. A winner of any prize valued at $1,500 or more may be required to remit mandatory state or federal withholding to RMHC-SD. If withholding is required, winner must remit full balance due to RMHC-SD within 10 business days of his or her prize selection. If payment is not received within 10 business days, the prize will become the cash alternative and RMHC-SD will remit the balance of the cash prize to the winner.
The prizes are taxable in the year the prize is distributed -- either the date the check was cut or when the physical prize was provided. For example -- someone who won a prize in 2024 and had their check cut on 1/16/2025, we would issue their tax forms for the tax year 2025. These forms would be mailed by January 31, 2026.
The IRS recognizes that the date won for Box 2 may not be the date winning are actually paid, and it's appropriate to report the winnings in the year the funds were actually remitted.
Up to 60,000 prizes will be awarded in the Grand Prize Drawing. The total number of prizes awarded will be the sum of 937 plus the number of non-winning ticket transactions following the first 937 awarded prizes. Each ticket transaction is guaranteed to win at least one prize in the Grand Prize Drawing. In the Grand Prize Drawing, the odds of winning the grand prize or any one prize will depend on the number of tickets sold. If all 60,000 tickets are sold, the odds of winning the grand prize for any given ticket is 1 in 60,000.
The raffle is open to any individual who is 18 years of age or older and in the state of California at the time of ticket purchase. RMHC-SD employees, and RMHC-SD authorized agents and vendors assisting RMHC-SD in conducting the raffle are excluded from participating and are not eligible to win a prize as are members of the Board of Trustees, their spouses, and dependent children of the same household. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply. The raffle is void where prohibited or restricted by law. An affidavit of eligibility may be required of prize winners.
