HOW TO ENTER

To be eligible to enter, individuals must, during the promotional period, donate a minimum of $10.00 in a single transaction to the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association Inc. (AVCGA) Fundraising Team to receive a scratch card. Scratch cards are strictly limited. Entrants will receive a scratch card for every $10.00 donated and a bonus scratch card if a donation of $50.00 is made in a single transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the entrant donates $50.00 they will receive 5 scratch cards plus 1 bonus scratch card (6 scratch cards in total).

The entrant must scratch their card to reveal whether or not they have won an instant prize. To claim a prize, entrants must either call the claim line number 1800 079 966 during business hours 9.00am - 5.00pm each week day and provide their name, address and contact phone number to receive their cash prize.  Or complete the details on the back of the ticket and send the ticket into Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association Inc.

In order to verify their claim, instant win cash prize winners will be required to send their winning scratch card to an address (notified to them at the time of their call) so that it is received by 5pm AEDST on 28/09/2009.  Allow 28 days for receipt of prize.
