1. Purchasing Raffle Tickets
Single Raffle tickets will be $20 each plus a 12% handling fee.
Tickets can only be purchased in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by eligible persons initiating a personal contact with an approved MASM representative as outlined on MASM’s website or by visiting www.massairspace.org/raffle and following the directions to purchase raffle tickets. To be valid, a raffle ticket purchased online and emailed to the recipient must be printed by the eligible entrant at the time of purchase.
Entrants purchasing Raffle tickets online must digitally sign their Entries, using the procedures specified. All purchasers of Raffle tickets must provide their names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses at the time of purchase. MASM By purchasing a ticket, each participant affirms they are over 18 years of age and are a resident of the 48 contiguous states in the United States (excluding AR, CA, KS, LA, NJ, UT, and WA) and agrees to be bound by and adhere to the terms and conditions contained in these Rules.
Raffle tickets are non-deductible. No portion of the ticket price may be deducted as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes.
There are no complimentary Raffle tickets. All tickets shall be sold for the full established ticket price.
2. Maximum Number of Raffle Tickets
Eligible participants may purchase as many raffle tickets as they wish. However, only a maximum of 2,000 tickets will be sold. Every ticket will be issued with a discrete number and that number is not repeated. Purchasers cannot select specific numbers. If you buy more than one ticket, each will have a different number on it. The ticket numbers will be either personally given or emailed to the address you provide. We are not responsible for any lost or misdirected email. If you do not receive your raffle ticket within 5 business days after purchase, you should contact MASM by email at MEDIA@MASSAIRSPACE.ORG or call at 781-703-0261.
3. Time to Purchase Raffle Tickets
The deadline to be eligible for the drawing is to purchase a ticket or tickets before 2,000 tickets are sold or by September 30, 2026, unless extended, whichever comes first. A ticket is “sold” for purposes of calculating the number of tickets sold when MASM receives full payment for that ticket. Anyone attempting to buy a ticket after 2,000 tickets have been sold will have their purchase fully refunded. Except for refunding the purchase, MASM is not responsible if your purchase cannot be processed because MASM had already sold 2,000 tickets, if your payment arrives after 2,000 tickets have been sold, or your payment arrives after the deadline for purchase.
4. Drawing
The winners shall be determined by a random drawing to take place on October 2, 2026 5p.m.. The date, and time will also be posted on the MASM website: www.massairspace.org.
