Raffle winners will be selected through a random drawing conducted under the supervision of Grounds Krewe Nola Inc. Winners will be notified via email within five (5) days following the winner selection. If a winner cannot be contacted, is ineligible, or fails to claim the prize within 12 days, the prize may be forfeited, unless otherwise directly arranged with program organizers within that 12-day period.
