Any attempt by Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different accounts, identities, registrations, logins or any other methods, including, but not limited to, commercial contest/Contest subscription notification and/or entering services, will void Entrant’s Entries and that Entrant may be disqualified.

Final eligibility for the award of any prize is subject to eligibility verification as set forth below. All Entries must be submitted by the end of the Contest Period in order to participate. The sole determinant of the time for the purposes of a valid Entry in this Contest will be the Sponsor server machine(s). 

All Entries are subject to verification at any time and for any reason. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity and/or eligibility (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor – including, without limitation, government issued photo identification): (i) for the purposes of verifying an individual’s eligibility to participate in this Contest; (ii) for the purposes of verifying the eligibility and/or legitimacy of any Entry entered (or purportedly entered) for the purposes of this Contest; and/or (iii) for any other reason the Sponsor deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the purposes of administering this Contest in accordance with these Rules.

Odds of winning will vary depending on the number of eligible Entries received. 

Before being declared a winner, the Selected Entrant will be notified by email approximately 2 days after the random drawing and notified that they are eligible to win (the “Potential Winner Notification”). Sponsor is not responsible for any delay or failure to receive the Potential Winner Notification for any reason, including inactive email account(s), technical difficulties associated therewith, or Selected Entrant’s failure to adequately monitor any email account. 

The Selected Entrant must reply by email within 36 hours of the Potential Winner Notification. The Selected Entrant must first correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, the Sponsor’s time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by e-mail.

    • grants to the Sponsor the right to use the Selected Entrant’s name, address and likeness in any form of advertising relating to the contest without further notice or compensation. 

If a Selected Entrant: (i) cannot be contacted by email within 36 hours of selection or there is a return of any prior notification as undeliverable; (ii) fails to correctly answer the skill-testing question; or (iii) fails to return the Prize Claim Documents within the specified time, the Selected Entrant will be disqualified and will forfeit the prize, and the Sponsor reserves the right to select an alternate Entrant from among the remaining eligible Entries. No substitution or transfer of a prize or Selected Entrant is permitted except by Sponsor. A Selected Entrant may be required to provide proof that he/she is the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the selected Entry.
