Affidavit of Eligibility

Real winners play by the rules. If you've been chosen as a winner of a contest or sweepstakes, an Affidavit of Eligibility allows you to legally declare that you're eligible to win. Often the contest organizer will require you to complete an Affidavit of Eligibility before you can claim your prize. With all the rules and prizes organized, the contest can run smoothly, a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Use the Affidavit of Eligibility document if:

• You have won a contest of some sort and you have been asked to prove you are eligible for the prize.
• You are sponsoring a contest or sweepstakes and require proof the winner is eligible to win the contest.

A completed Affidavit of Eligibility could be the last step between you and that big prize. It's used to certify your eligibility for winning a contest or sweepstakes. Essentially, the Affidavit proves that the winner was qualified by the rules to win. In this way, it helps both the contest organizers and the winner protect their rights and responsibilities. When creating your Affidavit of Eligibility, you'll want to include information like: the name of the contest or sweepstakes; who's making the affidavit; who's requesting the affidavit; where it will be signed; the social security number of the person proving their eligibility (known as "the affiant"); and the affiant's contact information.
