Unfortunately, lost, stolen, or damaged tickets cannot be replaced. The physical ticket is required to claim any prizes. We recommend keeping your tickets in a safe place and taking a photo of them for your records. Photocopies or digital images cannot be used to claim prizes, but they can help verify your purchase if needed.
Draw dates, times, and locations are announced in advance on our website and through official communications. All draws take place in public venues with independent witnesses present to ensure transparency and fairness. Community members are often invited to observe the draw process.
Winners are selected using a certified random number generator or mechanical draw system approved by AGCO. The process is overseen by independent witnesses or auditors to ensure complete fairness. Every valid ticket has an equal chance of winning, and the process is designed to be completely impartial and verifiable.
The draw will proceed as scheduled even if all tickets are not sold. All valid tickets purchased before the draw closing time will be entered into the draw. This policy ensures that participants can rely on the scheduled draw date and that charitable proceeds can be distributed in a timely manner.
