The Grand Split

HOUSE RULES

Revised as of May 26, 2023

Overview:

Hospice Halifax is running a raffle where participants have a chance to win cash prizes.

Participants will pay $60 to enter into a raffle ‘Prize Month’. A ‘Prize Month’ is 30-days of daily draws for a cash prize of $1,000. 

Participants must purchase their ticket prior to the start of the ‘Prize Month’ in order to enter the raffle.

The “prize month” is August 2023, with daily draws for $1,000 taking place from August 1st until the 30th.

Q1: Where can I buy a ticket?

We’ve partnered with Rafflebox, a local company approved by the Province of Nova Scotia to handle our online ‘Point of Sale’ system (https://www.rafflebox.ca)

Q2: Do raffle winners re-enter the raffle for the rest of the prize month (can you win more than once)?

Yes! 

Q3: Where and when will the draw take place?

Once we are ready to draw a winner, we will be using Rafflebox’s software to determine the winner. Raffle box is a locally developed and liscensed lotto provider who uses a random number generator approved by AGD.

Q4: How will I know if I’ve won or not?

We will use the information provided to Rafflebox during your ‘point of sale’ to contact you via email and telephone call.

Winners will also be listed by first name and the initial of their last name on our website at www.hospicehalifax.ca/TheGrandSplit-Winners

Q5: What happens if the winner cannot be contacted?

If cash prizes are not collected within 90 days, a new winner will be drawn.

In accordance with Alcohol and Gaming and the rules set forth by the Province of Nova Scotia, all participants must be 19 years of age or older and a current resident of Nova Scotia.

In addition Mackenzie Moyer and Michael Stack are ineligible to participate, as their names are signed on the lotto license.

No. $60 is the price to play for a ‘prize month’ which consists of a daily draw for 30 days.

Q10: Can you purchase more than one ticket?

We are selling a maximum of 1,000 tickets total per prize month – however there is no limit to how many tickets each participant can purchase.

Participants are able to purchase tickets to our AUGUST ‘Prize Month’ from June 1st until July  31st 2023.

Q12: When are the raffle draw dates?

Our ‘Prize Month’ consists of 30 consecutive daily-draws:

AUGUST 1st thru 30th.

Q13: What portion of the revenue goes to Hospice Halifax?

The Grand Split is based on the popular 50/50 fundraising model. This means that 50% of all revenue is allocated to prize money, while the remaining 50% will go directly to Hospice Halifax (a registered charity #86962 3215 RR0001). 

A small portion of this revenue for Hospice Halifax pays for the expenses associated with operating The Grand Split – but most of the funding will directly support patient care at Hospice Halifax. 

Q14: What is Hospice Halifax?

Hospice Halifax is a compassionate and supportive community of staff members, volunteers, and donors dedicated to making dying and living as comfortable and as meaningful as possible at the end of life.
