Raffle Rules and Regulations

By participating, you agree that:

1. All net proceeds of this raffle will benefit the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation (OFB Foundation), an Ohio non-profit corporation, recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Raffle tickets will be sold for $20 per ticket. A maximum of 200 tickets will be sold. Ticket sales will be ongoing until Aug. 24, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. or until all 200 tickets have been sold, whichever occurs first.
3. Each ticket will be entered separately in the drawing. Each ticket has a separate and equal chance of winning as prizes are being drawn. Chance of winning is one divided by the number of tickets sold. There is no limit to the number of raffle tickets a participant may purchase.
4. There will be one prize drawn: Taurus, Model 605 .357 3in Stainless Steel Revolver and Biometric Gun Safe with four way quick access.
5. If fewer than 134 tickets are sold, all prizes will convert to cash prizes. Each prize will be reduced proportionally so the sum of all prizes awarded equals 33% of all tickets sold.
6. The winners will be selected at 3:00 p.m. on Aug. 24, 2025, through a random drawing to be held at the Scioto County Farm Bureau Annual Meeting at the Meadow at Wheelers Mill (1776 Wheelers Mill Road, Wheelersburg, OH 45694).
7. Winners need not be present to win. Winners will be notified by telephone or e-mail.
8. Participants must be at least 18 years old and residents of the state of Ohio on the date of the drawing. Prize winners must produce photo identification including proof of Ohio residency and age when claiming their prizes. Winners have 10 days from the date of the raffle drawing to claim their prizes, or else they shall forfeit all rights and claims thereto.

All guns must be picked up in person by the prize winner at Porter Firearms (9105 Ohio River Rd, Wheelersburg, OH 45694), within 10 days of the applicable drawing. All applicable Federal and State laws will apply. All Federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) rules apply. If a prize winner does not meet applicable age or background requirements or transferring the firearm to the prize winner would violate any applicable law, the equivalent cash prize will be substituted and awarded in place of the firearm. 
10. Tickets may be purchased through participating Scioto County Farm Bureau members by cash or through the Scioto County Farm Bureau office by using Venmo or PayPal.
11. Due to postal regulations, raffle ticket stubs cannot be mailed.
