The fundraiser will continue until the fundraiser goal is met. Donation amounts will be recorded on the website weekly beginning December 1, 2010. Once the donation goal amount has been reached, the drawing date will be within 14 calendar days. The drawing date will be posted on the Forbes Foundation website, at least fourteen (14) calendar days before the drawing. At the time of that posting all U.S. Mail entries received will be assigned a ticket, be entered into the prize drawing database, but will NOT be physically mailed to the participant until approximately twenty-one (21) calendar days after the drawing. The winner of the Grand Prize will be announced at 5:00 p.m. Hawaii time, the evening of the drawing. The entrant need not be present to win. An independent notary public will supervise the drawing.

The Grand Prize will be given away shortly after the fundraiser goal is met. However, if the goal is not reached by December 31, 2012, one winning ticket will be drawn and the available proceeds will be distributed to the winner as a down payment on a home or a mortgage paydown toward the winner's existing mortgage. Twenty percent of the proceeds will be set aside to purchase prizes.

Online tickets will generate the unique ticket number during the online session. This is the number entered into the prize database. No paper tickets will be mailed for online entries. Persons donating by mail will be given the unique ticket number when their request is opened. The U.S. mail entries will be processed in the order of receipt. No in-person, fax or phone orders will be accepted. The Forbes Foundation assumes no responsibility for lost, late, misdirected or non-delivered mail.

All ticket distributions are final. Tickets may not be changed, sold or transferred by the entrant or anyone else. No refunds will be made. Only the name (one name per ticket) of the ticket holder provided on the ticket registration form will be eligible to receive prizes.
