corresponding gaming event license number and rules of play are made available at your ticket selling venue.
3.
Do we have to prepay for tickets?
No, however due to the limited number of tickets available, you may not receive as many tickets as you`ve requested. In
this instance your club will be automatically placed on a waitlist for tickets and should additional tickets become available
you will be contacted prior to sending.

requests will be handled as they are received. (Additional ticket requests will be waitlisted.)

7.
What do I do with partially sold booklets?
Try to completely sell each booklet. If you are unable to sell them return them to the 4-H BC office as soon as possible,
along with the completed Distribution Record(s) and any monies collected, so they may be redistributed to other clubs who
are on the wait list. (Be sure to return all sold and unsold booklets, the monies collected and the completed Ticket Seller
Distribution Records) Note: Please do not send cash in the mail.
8.
When I am done, where do I send my tickets and money?
The contact person on record from the original ticket request is responsible for the return of all sold and unsold tickets, the
monies collected, the completed Club/District/Region Distribution Record, and all the corresponding Ticket Seller
Distribution Records for each booklet. These must be returned to the 4-H BC office; preferably with one cheque; and must
be received into this office no later than May 30, 2017. Please make cheques payable to 4-H BC and send to:
4-H BC
th
2743 – 30 Street
Vernon, BC V1T 5C6
If we sell a partial book do we receive a % of the ticket sales?
A cheque for 40% of completely sold ticket booklets will be sent to the Club/District/Region that sold the tickets. If you
return a partially sold booklet, and the booklet is then successfully sold in completion by another Club/District/Region, each
group will share the proceeds accordingly.
9.
When will my club receive their proceeds of tickets sold?
Once all the sold and unsold tickets, the monies collected, and the completed Ticket Seller Distribution Records for each
booklet have been received into the 4-H BC office (no later than May 30, 2017), and have been verified, then a cheque will
be issued to the contact listed on the original ticket request form.
10. What if I lose my booklet?
You are responsible for payment and record keeping of your tickets. If you lose your booklet, you will need to pay for any
sold tickets, and submit these monies and your completed Ticket Seller Distribution Record to the 4-H BC office.
Ticket Records
11. Why do I have to keep a distribution record?
We are required by the BC Gaming and Enforcement Branch to maintain records for all tickets, whether sold or unsold.
Additionally, these Ticket Seller Distribution Records will serve as the official record to determine the winners for the
Fastest Sales by a Club, District or Region. If a booklet is lost, your Ticket Seller Distribution Record will be a vital record of
purchased tickets for that booklet. This way we may still enter the names and contact information of those that have
purchased tickets, into the draw, even if you cannot locate your booklet. Please note you are responsible for payment of
sold tickets.
Posters
12. Where do I get more posters?
Corresponding marketing posters were included with each ticket order. If you require additional posters contact the 4-H BC
office. If you receive both green and yellow tickets please ensure you display the corresponding poster which has the
correct B.C. Gaming Event License Number for the tickets you are selling. [i.e. Green Tickets are 88977 and Yellow tickets
are 88981]. If you are selling both sets of tickets you must display both posters.
