How to Enter

Participants may enter (and receive an "Entry" into the Sweepstakes) as follows. During the Sweepstakes Period, eligible individuals may receive an Entry in one of two ways:

  1. Any eligible individual may visit {{entry_site}} (the "Website") and register with their full name, mailing address, email address, date of birth, and telephone number; OR
  2. Any eligible individual who receives an official scratch-off mailer (the "Mailer") from Sponsor may participate as follows:
    • Step 1: Scratch to Reveal. Using a coin or similar object, the participant scratches off the panel corresponding to their selected answer for each of the three (3) questions printed on the Mailer. Scratching off an answer choice does not, by itself, constitute an entry into the Sweepstakes; it is a preliminary step required to reveal the unique entry code described below.
    • Step 2: Locate the Entry Code. Beneath one (1) of the scratch-off panels on the Mailer is a unique alphanumeric code (the "Entry Code"). Each Mailer contains only one (1) valid Entry Code.
    • Step 3: Redeem Online. To proceed, the participant must visit {{entry_site}} (the "Website") and enter the Entry Code as prompted. Entry Codes are validated upon submission; each Entry Code may be redeemed only once and only by the first individual to submit it.
    • Step 4: Submit Entry Information. After completing Step 3, the participant may complete the online entry form by providing the information requested, which may include full name, mailing address, email address, date of birth, and telephone number.

Submission of an entry by one of the two preceding methods constitutes the participant's final and official entry into the Sweepstakes (an "Official Entry"). Entries are not deemed complete, and no Official Entry will be created, unless and until all of the foregoing steps have been completed.

Each eligible individual is limited to one entry, regardless of method.

Failure to submit all required information in the manner required in these Official Rules and/or any entry form may result in disqualification. Proof of online entry will not be deemed to be proof of receipt of entry by Sponsor. All entrants and entries are subject to verification by Sponsor. Entries will not be acknowledged or returned. By entering the Sweepstakes, you consent to being placed on Sponsor's e-mail mailing list for sweepstakes purposes, and other purposes.

Identity of Entrant

In the event of a dispute about the identity of the entrant, entries made online will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the e-mail address submitted with the Entry.

An authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization (e.g., business, educational institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.

The potential winner may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that the potential winner is the authorized account holder of the e-mail address associated with the winning entry.

Promotion Rules

The winner will be randomly selected from all eligible entries on {{drawing_date}}. The Winner will be notified by text message or email shortly thereafter. To claim the Prize, the winner should follow the instructions and comply with the conditions contained in his/her notification within {{claim_days}} calendar days. If a Winner does not claim their prize, a new Winner shall be randomly selected from remaining eligible entries. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any entrant for violation of these rules, ineligibility, fraud, or tampering.

General Release

By entering the Promotion, you release Sponsor and all Released Parties from any liability whatsoever, and waive any and all causes of action, related to any claims, costs, injuries, losses, or damages of any kind arising out of or in connection with the Promotion or delivery, misdelivery, acceptance, possession, use of or inability to use any prize (including, without limitation, claims, costs, injuries, losses and damages related to personal injuries, death, damage to or destruction of property, rights of publicity or privacy, defamation or portrayal in a false light, whether intentional or unintentional), whether under a theory of contract, tort (including negligence), warranty or other theory.

Use of Winner Name, Likeness, Etc.

Except where prohibited by law, entry into the Sweepstakes constitutes permission to use each winner's name, hometown, likeness and/or prize information, without limitation, for sweepstakes purposes without further permission or compensation.

As a condition of being awarded any prize, except where prohibited by law, each winner may be required to execute a consent to the use of his or her name, hometown, likeness and/or prize information, without limitation, for sweepstakes purposes without further permission or compensation.
