No, you do not have to be present to win or have your ticket confirmation with you. Winners will be announced by name, not ticket number.

How will I be notified?
In addition to an attempt to contact the winner by phone the day of the drawing, each winner will be notified in writing in a Winner Notification Agreement, which will be sent by certified mail, return receipt U.S. Mail to the address provided by that winner at the time of ticket reservation.

Will I receive something in the mail for tax purposes or to claim as a deduction?
Yes, you will receive a receipt in the mail. For legal reasons, the actual ticket must remain with St. Jude and go in the hopper. Because you are paying for a chance in a charitable raffle, Dream Home tickets are NOT tax deductible.

What are the taxes on the house and what do I have to do if I win it?
The IRS has adopted the position that the $100 ticket price is not deductible as a charitable donation for Federal income tax purposes. The IRS requires that taxes on prizes valued greater than $5,000 must be paid upon acceptance and before SJCRH may deliver the prize to the winner. Winners are encouraged to consult a tax professional. The taxes on the home are the responsibility of the winner. The IRS requires ALSAC/St. Jude to collect the taxes before the transfer of property. Winners will be issued 1099s for the fair market or appraised value of the prizes they win. Winners should consult with their CPA as to specifics.
