How To Enter
Eligible Participants who satisfy the following criteria (each, an “Eligible
Entrant”) will be entered into the Promotion:
• NSW Residents over the age of 18 who have purchased a valid ticket at a cost of $5.00 from a registered NSW TAB outlet or electronic device (properly authorized and in compliance with all relevant rules and regulations to offer the services of the NSW TAB and including any app or website).
Number of Entries Permitted
If an Eligible Participant purchases more than one entry and is drawn as the winner of a prize more than twice, the participant will only be eligible to receive the first and second prizes they are drawn for and subsequent tickets will be forfeited as invalid, with another ticket to be drawn in its place until a winner with a different identity is drawn.
An Eligible Participant by valid and proper purchase of one $5.00 ticket is eligible to be a Sweep Winner as defined in the ‘Conduct of Prize Draw’.
Conduct of Prize Draw
The competition is split into two stages, hereafter referred to as ‘Stage One’ and ‘Stage Two’ respectively.
Stage One
All Eligible Entrants will be placed into a draw to participate in a Sweep, to
be conducted first on 10 September 2025 at 10am to establish the identity of the Sweep Winners of Stage One (“Sweep Winners”) at L7, 51 Druitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000 by random number generator.
i) The Sweep Draw
There will be a total of 14 winners drawn, consisting of 14 winning ‘slot holders’ in the Kosciuszko Race to be run on 18 October 2025. Each of the 14 Eligible Entrants drawn on 10 September 2025 (the Sweep Winners) will receive the right to be a ‘Slot Holder’ in the Kosciuszko Race, with all 14 winners receiving equal rights. As a ‘Slot Holder’ in The Kosciuszko, each of the winners have the right to nominate a horse to compete for them in the race after negotiating terms (including a share of prizemoney) with the horse’s owner with assistance from Racing NSW if necessary. Total prizemoney in the Kosciuszko Race will be at least $2 million. The prize pool for the race will be shared amongst each runner (and associated Slot Holder) based on finishing position. Sweep Winners will therefore receive a share of the prize pool reflecting the position that their horse finishes in the race and the prizemoney split that was negotiated with the relevant horse’s owner. The total prize pool is therefore $2 million. An additional 14 ‘Reserve Winners’ will also be drawn to allow Racing NSW to vet the first 14 winners to comply with the ‘fit and proper person’ requirement. If any of the first 14 winners do not meet the ‘fit and proper person’ requirement they will be substituted for by one of the 14 ‘Reserve Winners’ in the order that they are drawn. The full draw procedure is further explained below:
Stage Two
i) Final Stage of Sweep
Once the Sweep Winners have been determined through Stage One, prizemoney from the race will be allocated in accordance with the finishing position of the relevant horses as set out below under ‘Prizes’.
Prizes
As described above, the winner of Stage One of the Sweep wins the right to be a ‘Slot Holder’ and then receive their portion of their allocated horse’s winnings from the prizemoney pool.
As described above, Sweep Winners will win equal rights to a horse in the Kosciuszko Race and then win a portion of the total value of the prizemoney for the race, being $2 million less relevant deductions. The minimum amount payable to a successful Sweep Winner is $2,000 for the Kosciuszko. However, Racing NSW estimates that the total value of prizes for ‘Slot Winners’ will range from between $250,000 for the slot winner whose horse finishes first to $2,800 for the slot winner whose horse finishes last. Aside from the minimum amount of $2,000, this is an estimate only and may vary depending on the terms that each slot holder negotiates for the horse representing them in the race. Racing NSW will assist with negotiations upon request and proof of identification in the form of at least a drivers’ license.
In the event of a ‘dead heat’ where two horses cannot be separated by examination of the Stewards to determine one winner and one loser, the relevant winning stakes will be divided in the same way that official prizemoney would be divided in analogous circumstances.
Additional Conditions for Prizes
Each Winner is responsible for all associated costs with the Prizes, including where applicable, travel, accommodation and any other ancillary costs.
The Prizes are not transferable, substitutable or exchangeable nor redeemable for cash (including any unused portion).
Notification of Prize Winners
The Winner/s of Stage One of the Sweep will be notified by telephone, email or text where possible on 10 September 2025 where the email address and/or phone number are provided by the Winner. The Winners of Stage One will also be notified publicly with their details to be published on www.thekosciuszko.com.au, www.racingnsw.com.au, Racing NSW social
media, Sky Channel and the Daily Telegraph.
The Winners of Stage Two will be determined in accordance with the
outcome of the race and will be published on www.thekosciuszko.com.au and www.racingnsw.com.au.
Unclaimed Prizes
In the event that for any reason whatsoever any Winner does not accept or claim a Prize (including if the Promoter are not able to successfully get in contact with the Winner) by 4pm 16 September 2025 for Stage One, then the Prize will be forfeited by the Winner and the Promoter will immediately undertake an unclaimed prize draw (“Unclaimed Prize Draw”) at the offices of Racing NSW. The Unclaimed Prize Draw will be conducted in the same manner as the initial prize draw and in accordance with these terms and conditions, except that the relevant Winner will not be included. The winner of the Unclaimed Prize Draw (“Unclaimed Prize Draw Winner”) will be the first selected Eligible Entrant and the process will continue until the prize is claimed.
In the event that for any reason whatsoever the Unclaimed Prize Draw Winner does not accept the Prize (including if the Promoter are not able to successfully get in contact with the Unclaimed Prize Draw Winner) by 12pm on 17 September 2025 the Prize will be forfeited by the Unclaimed Prize Draw Winner and another Unclaimed Prize Draw will be immediately held at the offices of Racing NSW. A new unclaimed prize draw will be held at the offices of Racing NSW every 24 hours (excluding weekends and NSW/ACT public holidays) with winners selected from the initially selected pool of Reserve Winners until all Winners have been found.
