8. Draws will be conducted on each payday at 10:00 a.m., at the London Health Sciences Foundation Office, located at 747 Base Line Rd. East, London, ON N6C 2R6. Paydays occur every second Friday from January 8, 2021 to December 24, 2021, inclusive. Should the office be closed on that particular day, the draw will be conducted on the following business day at 10:00 a.m.
9. The winner is the person whose number is drawn. The winner will be notified by phone/email that they have won within 24 hours of the draw. Their name and ticket number will be posted on the Payday Plus 50/50 website (www.lhsf.ca/paydayplus). The winner must present a photo identification card upon delivery of their prize.
10. Only tickets that have been sold will be entered in the draw.
11. To be eligible for the draws, a minimum of $3 per pay period must be deducted from each pay prior to the draw date. Participants who enroll via credit card payment will be charged a onetime payment of $3 for each ticket purchased multiped by the number of remaining draws. No refunds on credit card purchases. Once a ticket number has won, the ticket will be returned to the drum to be eligible for all remaining draws.
12. Ineligible ticket numbers will be held for two consecutive draws. If an employee does not pay by the third draw, that ticket number will be offered to another individual. The Payday Plus 50/50 London Health Sciences Centre Staff Lottery will make every attempt to notify all lottery participants whose ticket numbers are not eligible prior to cancelling their eligibility. If a ticket holder on payroll deduction misses two consecutive pays payment via credit card will be required to ensure ticket eligibility.
13. If an employee is not receiving a regular pay due to an extended absence (sick leave, maternity leave etc.), it is the responsibility of the ticket holder to contact the Payday Plus 50/50 London Health Sciences Centre Staff Lottery to make arrangements for credit card payment prior to the start of the leave. No refunds on credit card purchases. Failure to pay within the two draws will result in employee forfeiting their tickets.
14. Tickets will be available on a first come, first served basis. In the event that the lottery sells out, a waiting list will be maintained for individuals who wish to enter the draws. As tickets become available, they will be offered to individuals on the waiting list in the order the entries were received.
15. Employees of London Health Sciences Foundation and Children’s Health Foundation are not permitted to enter the draws.
16. No tax receipt can be issued for the purchase of a Payday Plus 50/50 London Health Sciences Centre Staff Lottery ticket.
17. Group purchases are permitted; however, only one name will appear on the ticket. Members must work out the details of payment and payout amongst themselves. The winning prize, in the case of a group purchase, will be issued in the name of the ticket holder.
18. Any prizes which are not claimed shall be secured for a period of six months from the date of the draw. Unclaimed prizes will be reported and a charitable allocation will be approved by the licensing body.
19. Each ticket sold will be entered into each bi-weekly draw unless, payroll ticket purchaser notifies London Health Sciences Foundation in writing by email to stafflottery@lhsc.on.ca or by calling the Foundation Office at 519-685-8812 to cancel their enrollment. Enrollments and cancellations must be received two weeks prior to the draw date. To resume play if the lottery is sold out individuals will be added to the bottom of the waiting list and will be accommodated on a first come, first served basis, as tickets become available.
20. At the end of each calendar year all current ticket holders who are enrolled via payroll deduction will be automatically renewed for next calendar year’s Payday Plus 50/50 London Health Sciences Centre Staff Lottery. Once a new lottery license is issued, existing payroll ticket purchasers will receive new lottery ticket numbers under the new lottery license. All payroll ticket purchasers will continue to participate in the next calendar year biweekly draws until they cancel their tickets by emailing stafflottery@lhsc.on.ca or by calling the Foundation Office at 519.685.8812. Ticket holders who are enrolled via credit card payment will receive a renewal form that will have to be completed so updated payment information can be collected and processed to continue participation in the next calendar year.
