ABOUT YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT:

1. Your Account: use one that you check at least once per day.
2. Your HTML/RTF email filter: If you screen for spam by rejecting HTML/RTF content, white-list “@nobledead.org” in your email program and/or server to be certain you receive notification if you win. We do not send email spam—ever!
3. Your address/domain email filter: If you screen for spam by rejecting sender addresses / domains not pre-verified, adjust your filter rules to accept email from “@nobledead.org” or you will not receive the notification if you win. We do not respond to any form of email sender verification processes or request. Neither Hendees nor the volunteer staff have time for this.
4. Your emailed entry: Barb and J.C. have full control of all participant information; you will not be added to a mailing list. All entries are discarded / deleted once their associated raffle is completed.

Winner Selection Process

1. Each entry is checked by staff for required contact and delivery information. Correct and complete entries are confirmed by email reply within 72 hours. Incomplete entries are discarded and, if possible, the entrant is notified.
2. After the raffle’s closing date/time, all entries are checked for duplicates based on Name, Email, and Delivery Address. Clear duplicates are discarded. Indeterminate ones may receive an email query at our discretion.
3. Verified entries are assigned a number by order of date/time received. The total number of entries is entered into a pure random number generator to select the winner [see Random.org].
4. The winner is notified via email and confirmation of delivery information is requested. The winner has 48 hours to respond. If no response is received in that time, the winner’s entry is discarded and a new winner is selected according to Step 3.
5. Upon confirmation of delivery information, the winner is announced via NobleDead.org and its news distribution systems. The awarded prize will arrive on the winner’s doorstep by standard USPS mail, usually within 10 business days of being shipped. (NOTE: delivery time might more during the holiday season.)
