FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What is the Health & Wealth Raffle, benefiting Barrow & St. Joseph's?

A. The Health & Wealth Raffle, benefiting Barrow & St. Joseph's, is an opportunity for the public to participate in generating new revenue for Barrow Neurological Institute and St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center by purchasing tickets that could win a prize. Net proceeds from the Raffle go toward patient care, medical education and/or research – in keeping with Arizona legislation authorizing such a Raffle.

You may have heard the Health & Wealth Raffle called "Arizona’s Original Raffle." That is because Barrow and St. Joseph’s began this fundraising concept in Arizona in 2003, and it is now the longest established fundraiser of its kind in the United States. The Health & Wealth Raffle is proud of this fact – and even prouder of the amazing things happening every day at Barrow Neurological Institute and St. Joseph's Hospital as a result of the dollars generated by this project. The Health & Wealth Raffle is not philanthropy in the traditional sense. Instead, it uses an entertainment and prize format to attract dollars in support of Barrow and St. Joseph's.

Q. Where does the money go?

A. The Health & Wealth Raffle contributes to the community in three major ways: 1) It provides new revenues for research, medical education and patient care at Barrow and St. Joseph’s. 2) It generates a positive economic impact for Arizona – the majority of services and prizes (valued at more that $2 million) are purchased in Arizona. 3) Raffle winners come away with valuable and exciting prizes. To date, more than two million prizes have been awarded by the Raffle.

Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Health & Wealth Raffle has sponsored 18 successful raffles and contributed more than $50 million to research, medical education and patient care at Barrow and St. Joseph's.

Q. How many prizes are there?

A. The Spring 2013 Health & Wealth Raffle will give away 2,026 prizes in the Final Grand Prize Draw, including three grand prizes plus cars, trips, entertainment, electronics, jewelry and cash. Plus, there are 11 prize packages in the five Early Draws.

Q. What are the odds of winning a prize?

A. The odds of winning a prize are at least 1-in-40 with the purchase of one ticket, as verified by the accounting firm CBIZ MHM, LLC. Holding multiple tickets does not change the odds that any one ticket will win; rather it gives a person more chances to win since each ticket has a 1-in-40 chance of winning a prize.

Q. How are the prizes drawn?

A. The draws are conducted electronically by CBIZ MHM, LLC. In each draw, the prizes with the lowest manufacturer's suggested retail price will be drawn first, progressing in order of value to the Grand Prizes. The algorithm and random number generator used to conduct the draw and their ability to generate truly random numbers have been tested against industry standards for confirming random number generation and found to comply with such standards.

Q. If someone wins a prize, is that original entry still eligible for additional prizes?

A. Yes. All ticket numbers are eligible for all remaining prizes. After each draw, the winner's ticket number will be returned to the draw, and each entry remains in the draw for all subsequent prize drawings. It is possible that a person who purchases only one ticket could win more than one prize.

Q. Can I have my prize shipped out of state, and can I get a substitution or cash instead of the prize I've won?

A. With the exception of vehicles and real estate, prizes can be shipped out of state. Unless specified in your prize letter, there are no prize substitutions, and, as stated in the Rules & Regulations, only specified prizes may be exchanged for cash value.

TAXES AND IRS RULES All winners shall be responsible for any and all federal, state and local income or excise taxes, fees, assessments and like charges associated with the prizes. All cash prizes will be paid net of applicable income tax withholding.

SPECIAL NOTE: At the time of this printing, federal law requires that corresponding tax withholding on prize values of $5,000 or greater must be collected from winners upon award and distribution. Federal and state withholding laws are subject to change without notice. The withholding laws in effect at the time prizes are claimed will be followed. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of the entry does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution.
