PRIZES
The total number of prizes awarded in the Spring 2012 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.
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.
The winner of the 1st Ticket Grand Prize ("GPW") 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. GPW shall provide NRC with written notice of
their selected payout option on or before
July 21, 2012. The two cash
alternatives available to the GPW are either (i) 20 equal payments of $50,000 to be made annually
beginning within 30 days of NRC receiving written notification of this option being selected, which
amount shall be payable via an annuity purchased in GPW's name; or (ii) a one time lump sum payment
of $700,000. If the dream home is selected, then the GPW 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 Draw, and construction must be scheduled to commence on or before one
hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the Grand Prize Draw, and the GPW must also comply with all
terms stated in the Official Raffle Rules. If any of the conditions above are not met, then GPW 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 2012 House of Dreams Charity Raffle by
11:59 p.m. (CST) on
June 06, 2012, 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 $1 Million Grand Prize, which shall be reduced by a factor equal
to the actual number of tickets sold divided by 40,000 and said factor shall be applied to all payment
options available to the GPW. For example, if the total number of valid entries in the 2012 House of
Dreams Charity Raffle is 36,000, then the Grand Prize would be equal to 90 percent of the original value
for all payment options (e.g. up to $900,000 towards the actual construction costs of a dream home or 20
annual payments of $45,000 or $630,000 lump sum payment). All other rules shall apply as stated.
