The winning ticket will be randomly selected on November 30, 2026, using Ascend, an Indiana Gaming Commission-certified raffle software.

• Do I need to be present? No, you do not need to be present to win.
• Where to check: The drawing video will be linked to the Hadi Shrine Temple social media channels and media partners. The winning number will be announced during the drawing, posted on social media, shared with media partners, and listed on the website at hadishrine.org.

The winner receives 50% of the gross cash receipts collected from all ticket sales attributed to the drawing. The remaining 50% directly supports the Hadi Shrine Temple.

If your ticket numbers match the posted winning combination in exact chronological order:

1. Contact: Call 812-423-4285 or email [email protected] to provide your contact information. A representative will contact you to arrange a verification meeting.
2. Bring Verification: You must present valid photo identification and the original winning ticket (physical ticket or the unique digital purchase record generated electronically), which must contain both the matching ticket number and the unique identifier.
3. Deadline: You must initiate contact and complete the verification meeting within 30 calendar days of the drawing (by close of business on December 30, 2026).
4. Payout: The prize will be delivered via check within 30 days of delivering the ticket, ID, executed Declaration of Eligibility, and required tax forms. No cash payments are made for security reasons.

• Gifting Tickets: You may opt to give your ticket away to another eligible person; however, doing so waives your personal claim to the prize.
• Reselling Tickets: Reselling tickets is strictly prohibited. Tickets resold in violation of these rules are void, and any involved parties will become ineligible to win. Physical tickets act as bearer instruments and require matching ticket numbers and unique identifiers for validation.

Yes. A winner may transfer their cash prize to a third party provided the recipient is eligible to enter the raffle, agrees to be bound by the official rules, and assumes responsibility for all applicable taxes and costs.

• Purchases: Ticket purchases are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions.
• Winnings: The winner is solely responsible for reporting and paying all applicable federal, state, and local taxes. The Hadi Shrine Temple will report winnings to the IRS and State of Indiana as required by law.

If the winner fails to make contact and complete verification by close of business on December 30, 2026, is ruled ineligible, or declines the prize, the winnings are forfeited and retained entirely by the Hadi Shrine Temple.
