All prizes should be claimed within one (1) year of the applicable draw date. In the event that winners have not claimed their prizes within that period, and after reasonable attempts have been made to contact that winner (i.e. telephone, mail), then the prize will be submitted to a charity approved by the SLGA. 

ARE THE PRIZES DONATED?

No. All prizes are purchased by the Foundations using the tender process.
