SWEEPSTAKES CharityMania LLC ("Administrator") is a for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. Administrator manages the back-office elements of sweepstakes, such as ticket printing, random drawings, rules drafting, and other administrative elements on behalf of participating non-profit organizations ("Charities"). Where necessary, Administrator is registered with various state agencies as an administrator of charitable solicitations. Administrator never collects funds on behalf of Charities nor does it directly solicit funds from potential donors. All proceeds received by Charities relating to the sweepstakes are collected by the Charities themselves, who are solely responsible for all tax and charity reporting as required of 501(c)(3) corporations. GENERAL OPERATION OF SWEEPSTAKES 1. The Sweepstakes is a collection of a series of ongoing events, each with a designated Charity or Charities as sponsors. Administrator is responsible for creation of program, game cards, and sweepstakes rules. Charities are responsible for advertising and promoting the sweepstakes, collection and administration of all funds, and any and all tax reporting. 2. Generation of Game Pieces: Prior to the start of each fundraiser, Administrator, using a random number generator, creates randomly generated combinations of teams or drivers depending on the fundraiser ("Combinations"). See each fundraiser's official rules for details of how each ticket is created. Using a second random generator, each game card is assigned the Combinations. The assignments are then randomly distributed on the pieces. 3. Participation by Charity: Charities who wish to participate in a sweepstakes as a Sponsor must enter into an agreement with Administrator prior to the start of the Sweepstakes Period. The Agreement allows Administrator to manage the Sweepstakes. 4. Cost of Participation by Charity: Charities purchase the number of tickets they believe they will distribute during the Sweepstakes Period, and return undistributed tickets to Administrator. The fixed per-ticket price charged to the Charities covers prize winnings and any and all costs associated with printing and producing the tickets, generating random Combinations, and oversight and running of the promotion. 5. Offering Game Pieces: Game cards are free to consumers. A fee of $20.00 is requested to purchase a Digital Entertainment Package from the Charity Studio. Entrants who choose to pay the $20.00 requested fee receive a game card, and a Digital Entertainment Package, as well as a $20.00 receipt. Entrants who prefer to enter without paying the fee receive a game card only. Administrator does not offer game pieces directly to consumers. Charities offer game pieces through the solicitation process of their choosing (door-to-door, charity events, telephone solicitation) and according to the charitable solicitation laws of a particular state. 6. Game Piece Architecture: Each game piece provides multiple chances to win. See each fundraiser's official rules for details about the number of chances to win, odds of winning, and prize money amounts, and drawing dates. A single game piece is all that is necessary to enter each of the drawings during the Sweepstakes Period. Entrants who receive a ticket after the Sweepstakes Period may not be eligible for all drawings. See official rules for each game for details. 7. Generation of Winners: Each game piece contains one randomly generated Combination per week. At the end of any given week, Entrants tally up the points scored for each team in the Combination, irrespective of whether the team has won. If the total number of points for the Combination is among the four highest Combinations for that week, the Entrant wins a weekly prize. Prizes are not generated based upon teams winning the games because arguably that could involve an element of skill; rather, prizes are based merely on the points scored in multiple games. If the total number of points for the Combination is the lowest of all other Combinations, the Entrant wins a prize. Entrants may check with the Charity from which they purchased a ticket to determine winning status or they may access Administrator's website. Because Combinations are randomly generated, it is possible that more than five winners will be selected in any given week. All entrants with a high score combination will receive the prize listed on the game piece.
