|
| HoopsMania $5, $10, and $20 |
| 1. |
HoopsMania begins on the first day of the round of 64 teams in the college postseason championship tournament.
|
| 2. |
Your game card is randomly assigned 8 teams (2 teams from each region) that will play in college basketball's national championship tournament in March. Each team printed on the back of your game card is represented by its “Seed #” in the tournament. The Tournament Selection Committee will announce all the tournament’s teams and seed numbers the week before the tournament begins.
|
| 3. |
To play the game, simply add up the points scored by the teams printed on your game card. The more total combined points your teams score, the better chance you have to win a prize! (The CharityMania website will add up the scores for you. You simply root for your teams!)
|
| 4. |
Prizes are awarded at the end of the tournament to the 70 game cards whose teams score the most combined total points throughout the tournament. The top 3 scoring game cards win a Grand Prize; the next 67 top scoring game cards each win a Runner-Up Prize. Prizes are also awarded to the 5 lowest scoring game cards. See the front of game card for prizes.
|
| 5. |
Teams that have been eliminated from the tournament get 0 points in rounds they do not play.
|
| 6. |
In the event two game cards have the same number of points scored at the end of the tournament, then total combined free throws made will be used as the primary tiebreaker. The more total combined free throws made, the higher the score. If two game cards are still tied after the primary tiebreaker, then total combined rebounds is used as the secondary tiebreaker.
|
| 7. |
Winners will be notified by the participating organization that distributed the HoopsMania game card. Prizes are awarded upon the completion of the tournament.
|
| 8. |
Minimum odds of winning: 1 in 19 per game card. There are 1440 total game cards, each with an equal chance to win a prize. No purchase necessary to play. Void where prohibited.

| GolfMania Majors |
| 1. |
GolfMania game card holders are eligible to win prize money in each of the 4 GolfMania contests. Each contest, written on the back of the GolfMania game cards, is associated with one of professional golf's Major Championships: the Masters, the US Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship. Each contest begins on the day that the first round is played in the golf tournament.
|
| 2. |
Contest dates and durations:
- The Masters, January 1-1, 1
- The PGA Championship, January 1-1, 1
- The US Open, January 1-1, 1
- The British Open, January 1-1, 1
|
| 3. |
A game card's value in any contest is based the combined scores of the 5 golfers (known as a '5-Golfer Combination') that are randomly assigned to it. On the back of each game card you will see a different 5-Golfer Combination assigned to each contest. Each game card is unique. No two game cards have the same 5-Golfer Combination in any contest. There are 2,688 different possible 5-Golfer Combinations that can be assigned to a game card.
|
| 4. |
Each contest's prize money winners are based on the combined scores of the 5-Golfer Combination on the game cards for that contest. A game card's value is determined by adding up the number of strokes the game card's golfers had throughout the contest. The better (i.e. lower) the total combined score of the golfers, the better the game card's value.
|
| 5. |
At the end of each contest, the game cards with the 5-Golfer Combinations that had either the 31 best or 3 worst combined scores win a prize. There are at 34 winning game cards for each contest. See the front of your game card for details on prize money amounts.
|
| 6. |
If a golfer on this card does not participate in the tournament or complete at least two full rounds, CharityMania will replace that golfer with the next available person on the GolfMania Alternate Golfers list.
|
| 7. |
If a golfer completes two full rounds but does not finish all 4 rounds (i.e. misses the cut, gets injured, etc), the golfer's worst score from his completed rounds will be used as his score for all non-completed rounds.
|
| 8. |
In the event two '5-Golfer Combinations' have scored the same at the end of the Contest, then ‘total holes under par’ (i.e. birdies and eagles) is used as the primary tiebreaker. If 'total holes under par' does not break the tie, then the 'Putts Per Greens in Regulation' (PP GIR) throughout the tournament is used as the secondary tiebreaker (the fewer putts needed, the better the score). If PP GIR is not readily available on the web for that tournament, 'Greens in Regulation %' will be used as the secondary tie-breaker (higher is better).
|
| 9. |
Winners will be notified by the participating organization that distributed the GolfMania game card. Prizes are awarded upon the completion of the tournament.
|
| 10. |
The minimum odds of winning: 1 in 20 per game card; 1 in 79 for each contest. No purchase necessary to play. Void where prohibited.

| MarketMania |
| 1. |
MarketMania Summer Edition begins on July 4, 2022. The Fall Edition begins on October 2, 2023. The Winter Edition begins on January 16, 2023. The contests each run for 10 weeks.
|
| 2. |
The back of each MarketMania Game Card contains 10 random sets of 3 companies (you get a new set of 3 companies each week). CharityMania calculates the “Value” of your card each week by adding up the % gain (or loss) by each of 3 companies’ stock prices over the course of that week (the % difference in the opening price of the stock on Monday compared with the closing price of the stock on Friday).
|
| 3. |
Prizes are awarded to the 33 game cards with the highest Value (i.e. the best combined stock price % change), and the 5 cards with the lowest Value relative to all other cards in a given week. At the end of the contest Grand Prizes are awarded to the one card with the highest, and the one card with the lowest, total combined weekly Values over all 10 weeks.
|
| 4. |
A MarketMania game card is eligible to win prizes only after the date it has been activated by an organization on the website.
|
| 5. |
Winners will be notified by the participating organization that distributed the MarketMania game card.
|
| 6. |
If two or more game cards are tied with the same Value, then the total stock price gained/lost is used as the primary tiebreaker. The higher a stock price’s numerical change, the higher the value. For example, let’s say 2 different stocks both increase 2%. One stock was increased from $1,000 to $1,020 (a $20 increase) and the other stock increased from $200 to $204 (a $4 increase). The stock with the $20 increase would have the higher Value as a tiebreaker. Please note that higher tiebreaker values are better for the ‘High Score Winners’ and lower tiebreaker values are better for the ‘Low Score Winners’.
|
| 7. |
All game cards are unique each week. Each game card contains a unique set of 3 companies each week of the contest.
|
| 8. |
The minimum odds of winning are 1 in 13.5.
