How are winners selected?
Winners are selected by an independent auditing firm through a random electronic drawing. Winning tickets are selected by ticket number, not by name. Every valid ticket entered into a drawing has an equal chance of being selected.
What are my chances of winning?
Every valid ticket entered into a drawing has the same chance of being selected.
Your overall odds of winning depend on two things:
- The total number of valid tickets entered into the drawing.
- The total number of tickets you have entered.
The more tickets you enter, the greater your overall odds of holding the winning ticket. However, every individual ticket always has exactly the same chance of being selected as every other valid ticket in the drawing.
Do you accept entries from outside the United States?
Yes. Dream Giveaway promotions are open to residents of the United States, Canada (excluding Quebec), U.S. territories, and other countries where permitted by law. Entries are void where prohibited. Please consult your local authorities regarding the laws applicable in your jurisdiction.
How many tickets for each individual giveaway will be issued?
There is no limit to the number of valid tickets that may be issued for a Dream Giveaway. The more tickets you have entered into a drawing, the greater your overall odds of winning.
What is the Security Code and why is it required when I enter my credit card information?
The Security Code is the three- or four-digit verification code printed on your credit card. It provides an additional level of protection against credit card fraud and helps verify that the card is in your possession when making online or telephone transactions.
Are my tickets transferable?
No. Dream Giveaway tickets are non-transferable., however you can obtain tickets as gifts for others. To obtain gift tickets, go to DreamGiveaway.com/gift and order your gift card.
Why don't I get entry stubs or individually printed tickets?
Dream Giveaway drawings are conducted electronically, so individual paper tickets are not issued. You should receive two parts to your email. One part contains your ticket certificate listing the ticket number range. The second part serves as receipt for your donation.
How will I know if I win?
If you are selected as a potential winner, Dream Giveaway will make every reasonable effort to contact you using the phone number, email address, and mailing address associated with your entry. We may also attempt to contact you by text message or other available methods.
You do not need to be present during the drawing to win.
Do I have to be present to win?
No. Winners do not need to be present during the drawing.
Can I win more than once?
Yes. Unless otherwise stated in the Official Rules, previous Dream Giveaway winners remain eligible to enter future Dream Giveaway promotions.
What is your refund policy?
Requests for refunds on credit card donations will be honored up to 15 days prior to the deadline for entry for the applicable Dream Giveaway.

Am I eligible to enter a Dream Giveaway?
Dream Giveaway promotions are open to legal residents of the United States, Canada (excluding Quebec), U.S. territories, and other countries where permitted by law who are 18 years of age or older, unless otherwise specified in the Official Rules.
How does the cash for taxes work?
IRS withholding regulations are based on the value of the Grand Prize, which includes the prize package and any cash awarded toward the winner's federal withholding requirement.
Dream Giveaway understands that the federal withholding requirement could prevent many winners from accepting a prize. To help offset this obligation, the Sponsor may provide a cash award to be applied toward the winner's federal IRS withholding requirement, as described in the Official Rules.
Additional federal, state, and local taxes may still be owed.
How do I close my account?
If you need to close your account, please use the Contact Us page or call Customer Service at 727-536-2777 to request closing your account.
What percentage of the money raised goes to charity?
100% of every donation is received by New Beginning Children's Homes (NBCH), a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and the Sponsor of Dream Giveaway promotions.
As the Sponsor, NBCH maintains care, custody, and control of all donations received.
A substantial portion of those donations is used to conduct Dream Giveaway promotions, including the purchase of prizes, federal taxes paid on behalf of winners, advertising, marketing, media, printing, licensing, payment processing, and other costs associated with operating the giveaways.
The remaining funds support NBCH's charitable mission and provide grants to other nonprofit organizations.
