If for any reason whatsoever all of the foregoing requirements are not satisfied with respect to a particular Potential Winner, or if Sponsor is unable for any reason to identify the holder of a winning “Raffle” Ticket or to contact a Potential Winner, then that Potential Winner’s Prize will be deemed forfeited and, the Prize will be retained by the Sponsor for charitable use. Sponsor shall use the following rules to determine the identity of any Potential Winner and of the Official Winner of each Prize: (1) Sponsor shall conclusively presume that the person who is in possession of that “Raffle” Ticket is the lawful owner of that “Raffle” Ticket and that ticket’s winning number, and Sponsor shall not make, nor have any duty to make, any inquiry whatsoever into the circumstances under which that person came into possession of such winning “Raffle” Ticket.
