ADMINISTRATOR Dignity Health Foundation East Valley, 1727 W Frye Rd, Suite 230, Chandler, AZ 85224 (480-728-3931)

TAXES AND IRS RULES Winner shall be responsible for any and all federal, state and local income or excise taxes, fees, assessments and like charges associated with the prize. All cash prizes will be paid net of applicable income tax withholding.

SPECIAL NOTE: At the time of this printing, federal law requires that corresponding tax withholding on prize values in excess of $5,000 must be collected from winners upon award and distribution. Federal and state withholding laws are subject to change without notice. The withholding laws in effect at the time prizes are claimed will be followed. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances to participate in raffles, lotteries or similar programs are not gifts and, therefore, the price of the entry does not qualify as a deductible charitable contribution.
