PRIZES
The total number of prizes awarded in the Spring 2013 House of Dreams Charity Raffle
shall be dependent on the total number of valid entries received. The chance of a valid
single ticket entry winning a prize shall be no less than 1-in-15. To receive a detailed
explanation of how the odds are determined and/or calculated, please send a written request
with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the address listed below. Prizes may not be
exactly as shown, are based on manufacturer availability and may be substituted with a prize
of similar value or with the cash equivalent by NRC. The approximate value of all combined
prizes is over $1,600,000 MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) and is based on
estimated MSRP pricing at the time of prize selection and 40,000 valid Raffle entries received.
All MSRP's are rounded to the nearest dollar. No prize is valued at less than $100.00 MSRP as
of December 01, 2012. In the event of a winning entry having more than one name, NRC will award
the prize to the first name listed on the entry. Records of NRC shall be deemed correct if
there is any discrepancy. NRC is not responsible for resolving any disputes that may arise from
different individuals listed on a valid Raffle certificate. With proper transfer documents
bearing notarized signatures, as required by the Raffle, a prize may be transferred. 5th Ticket
prizes for all drawings, except the Grand Prize Drawing, shall only be applicable to a purchaser's
5th ticket, provided that said 5th ticket is valid and is determined by the NRC to have been
purchased prior to the applicable drawing deadline.
The winner of the 1st Ticket Grand Prize ("Grand Prize") is entitled to receive up to $1,000,000
towards the actual construction costs of a dream home built by an active, accredited member of the
National Association of Home Builders that is approved by NRC ("Builder") or one of the
two cash alternatives detailed in (i) and (ii) below. The Grand Prize winner shall provide NRC with
written notice of their selected payout option on or before
July 19, 2013.
The two cash alternatives available to the Grand Prize winner are (i) the payment of the Grand Prize
via twenty (20) equal payments that are each equivalent to five (5%) percent of the Grand Prize amount
awarded pursuant to these rules, which payments will be made annually beginning with the first payment
made within 30 days of NRC receiving written notification of this option being selected, and shall be
payable via an annuity purchased in the Grand Prize winner's name; or (ii) a one-time lump sum cash
payment equal to seventy (70%) percent of the Grand Prize amount awarded pursuant to these rules. If the
dream home is selected, then the Grand Prize winner must be a party to an enforceable, non-contingent
home building agreement with a Builder ("Agreement") within sixty (60) days from the date of
the Grand Prize Drawing, and construction must be scheduled to commence on or before one hundred eighty
(180) days from the date of the Grand Prize Drawing. The Grand Prize winner must also comply with all
terms stated in the Official Raffle Rules. If any of the conditions above are not met, then the Grand
Prize winner shall automatically receive the payout option detailed in (ii) herein in full satisfaction
of the Grand Prize. If fewer than 40,000 tickets are sold in the 2013 House of Dreams Charity Raffle by
11:59 p.m. (CST) on May 17, 2013, then all applicable drawings will be held as
scheduled and all prizes will be awarded as advertised to maintain the 1-in-15 chance to win with the
exception of the Grand Prize. In the case of under 40,000 tickets being sold in the 2013 House of Dreams
Charity Raffle by the aforementioned deadline, the Grand Prize amount awarded to the Grand Prize winner
of the 2013 House of Dreams Charity Raffle shall equal the greater of $100,000 or fifty (50%) percent of
the Net Proceeds from the 2013 House of Dreams Charity Raffle ("Net Profits"). The Net Proceeds
shall be determined by NRC's certified public accounting firm on or before
August 31,
2013, and their determination shall be final and binding. All other rules shall apply as stated including,
without limitation, the application, payment and timing of the available cash alternatives as stated in (i)
and (ii) herein relative to the Grand Prize.
