DETERMINATION OF OFFICIAL WINNER(S): The Injured Police Officers Fund shall have the sole discretion to determine whether a Potential Winner is an official winner of a Prize (an “Official Winner”).

If for any reason whatsoever all of the foregoing requirements are not satisfied with respect to a particular Potential Winner, or if The Injured Police Officers Fund is unable for any reason to identify the holder of a winning Raffle Ticket, then the Potential Winner’s Prize will be deemed forfeited and become the property of The Injured Police Officers Fund . Any entry that The Injured Police Officers Fund determines, in its sole judgment, was stolen, unissued, ineligible, altered counterfeit in whole or in part, defective, printed in duplicate or printed/produced in error will be void.
