The Virtual Reverse Raffle will be broadcast via BoxCast and ticket holders may log into a Google Meet to “attend” the event. Google Meet and BoxCast links will be sent prior to the event or may be found on the school calendar.

Tickets:

• Only 250 tickets will be sold.
• Tickets will be purchased online or by sending a check to the school. The check should be written to “St. Mark Catholic School” with “2021 Reverse Raffle” noted in the check memo.
• Ticket numbers will be assigned as payment is received.
• You must be 18 years old to purchase a ticket. Families may buy more than one ticket.
• Ticket holders do not need to be on the Google Meet to win.
• If you return an order form to SMCS, your receipt and ticket stub will be available for pick-up in the front office 2-3 days after we receive your form.
• If you order your ticket via our online site, please indicate if you would like to pick up your receipt and ticket at the front office or have them mailed to you. Please understand that we cannot guarantee your tickets will get to you in the mail prior to the drawing on December 10th. We will also mail a scanned copy of your receipt and ticket to your provided email address.

Prizes:

• Unlike a typical raffle, in a reverse raffle the purchaser of the last ticket drawn wins the Grand Prize.
• A total of $7,600 in prize money will be given away ($5,000 grand prize, three $500 prizes, four $250 prizes, and one $100 prize).
• The first ticket drawn will receive their $100 back. Other monetary prizes ($250 and $500 amounts) will be awarded as tickets are drawn throughout the evening.
• When your ticket is drawn, your number is “out” and you are no longer eligible to win the Grand Prize.
• When there are 10 tickets remaining, those ticket holders will be offered the option to split the top prize with each ticket holder receiving $500. Ticket holders not present on the Google Meet will be assumed as a “yes” to continue with the drawing. If even one of the ticket holders wants to continue to draw the tickets, the drawing will continue with the final ticket drawn being the Grand Prize winner.
• The final ticket drawn will win the Grand Prize of $5,000.
• If fewer than 250 tickets are sold, the Grand Prize will be adjusted accordingly. Ticket holders will be contacted prior to the raffle drawing with more information on the new Grand Prize amount if the prize is adjusted.
• Per IRS Notice 1340, winnings greater than $5,000 will have tax withheld at a rate of 25%.
