If an entrant submits more than one (1) entry per day regardless of method of entry, Sponsor reserves the right to void all such entries at its sole and absolute discretion. In the event of a dispute over who submitted a winning entry, the authorized subscriber of the email address provided at the time of entry will be deemed to be the entrant. The authorized subscriber is defined as the natural person who is assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.

Sponsor is not responsible for incorrect or inaccurate transcription of entry information, computer, online or human error, technical malfunctions, any omission, interruption, defect, or any other error, including, without limitation, lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected entries, all of which may constitute grounds for disqualification in Sponsor’s sole discretion.

On or around March 1, 2023, four (4) Weekly Entry Period drawing winners will be selected by random electronic drawing with one (1) potential drawing winner being selected from the pool of eligible entries for each Weekly Entry Period (each, a “Potential Winner”). Once an individual is selected as a Potential Winner, they, and their household members, are no longer eligible to win any additional prizes of any manner, during the Sweepstakes. 

 

Odds of winning a Prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received for each Weekly Entry Period during the Sweepstakes Entry Period and are equal regardless of method of entry.

 

5. PRIZES AND APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE: Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules, each Potential Winner for the four (4) Weekly Entry Period drawings will receive:

The approximate retail for each Prize package of four (4) tickets is eight hundred dollars ($800.00). The total ARV for all four (4) Prizes awarded is three thousand, two hundred dollars ($3,200.00). The ARV for the Prizes is an estimate made before the Sweepstakes begins and may vary. If the actual retail value of a Prize is less than or greater than the stated ARV, the Prize winner will not receive the difference. Sponsor may substitute prize for a comparable model based on availability.

 

ALL FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAXES AND FEES ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRIZE WINNERS. ALL OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES RELATED TO ANY PRIZE NOT SPECIFIED HEREIN AND OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED BY ACCEPTING THE PRIZE ARE ALSO THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WINNER. ANY REQUIRED TAX REPORTING FORMS WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES.

 

6. WINNER NOTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION: After the drawings on or around March 1, 2023, Potential Winners in the Sweepstakes will be contacted by telephone or email using the contact information provided at the time of entry within one (1) week of the random drawing. All Potential Winners, regardless of Prize, will be awarded the applicable Prize subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules. If a Potential Winner fails to respond to the verification notification within forty-eight (48) hours of notification or the notification cannot be made after two (2) attempts, the Potential Winner may be disqualified in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Sponsor may also extend the verification notification at their discretion.

 

Winners may be required to provide their Social Security number or tax ID for tax reporting purposes if Sponsor is required to file an IRS Form 1099/W-9 with the Internal Revenue Service for the fair market value of a Prize awarded and accepted. Except where prohibited, Potential Winners also may be required to sign and return to Sponsor, within five (5) business days from the date when Sponsor’s initial verification email was sent, a declaration of eligibility and liability/publicity release (“Declaration”) via email to the address specified in the Declaration in order to claim his or her Prize. If a Potential Winner fails to complete, sign and return the applicable Declaration within the required time period, or if the Declaration is returned as undeliverable or incomplete, the Potential Winner may be disqualified in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

In the event a Potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, or if a Prize is unclaimed, the Prize will be forfeited. Sponsor, at its sole and absolute discretion, may award the forfeited Prize to an alternate Potential Winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. Within forty-eight (48) hours of the secondary drawing, alternate Potential Winner(s) will be contacted using the contact information provided at the time of entry. If the alternate Potential Winner(s) fails to respond to the notification within forty-eight (48) hours of notification or the notification cannot be made after two (2) attempts, the alternate Potential Winner may be disqualified in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. Sponsor retains the right to repeat this process until an alternate Potential Winner complies with the verification of eligibility requirements.
