Multiple entrants are not permitted to share the same email address. Additional entries may also be earned from time to time by completing tasks specified on the Sweepstakes Website.
SELECTION OF WINNER / ODDS OF WINNING
Selection of Winner. On or about 12/17/2025 PST (the “Drawing Date”), Administrator will select the potential Sweepstakes winner (“Potential Winner”) in accordance with these Official Rules. The Administrator’s database computer is the official timekeeping device for the Sweepstakes. The Potential Winner will be selected by random drawing from all eligible entries received by the Administrator during the Sweepstakes Entry Period. The Potential Winner will be notified by email and/or by telephone on or about the Drawing Date, using the email address or telephone number provided with the selected entry, and will be conditionally awarded the Sweepstakes Prize (hereinafter defined) subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms and conditions of these Official Rules. If a Potential Winner does not respond within 24 hours after the first notification attempt, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such Potential Winner, such Potential Winner may be disqualified and an alternate Potential Winner may be selected. The notification will include instructions for how to contact the Administrator to provide name, address, and other information that may be required to complete validation of eligibility and delivery of prize. No liability is assumed for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted, or not received by a Potential Winner for any reason. At Sponsor’s discretion, a background check (“Background Check”) may be performed with respect to the Potential Winner as part of the process to confirm any Potential Winner’s eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules and the Terms of Service, which Background Check such Potential Winner would have to pass in order to receive the prize. By entering the Sweepstakes, entrant agrees to cooperate fully with any such Background Check, and to execute and deliver to Administrator all required authorizations and approvals for said Background Check to be conducted. Failure to cooperate may result in disqualification. If the prize includes the opportunity to meet a celebrity, attend a special event, or participate in any similar activity, or if Sponsor or Administrator intends to publicize the winner in any way, and if a background check reveals that a Potential Winner or Guest has engaged in conduct that could damage the reputation or business of Sponsor or Administrator, as determined by Administrator in its discretion, the Potential Winner may be disqualified and the prize may be awarded to an alternate Potential Winner, time permitting.
In the event that a Potential Winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may award the applicable prize to an alternate Potential Winner who will be selected by a random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. The selected Potential Winner must execute all consents as provided by applicable law.
Odds of Winning. Odds of winning the Sweepstakes Prize (hereinafter defined) depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Entry Period.

If Potential Winner is a minor in his/her jurisdiction of residence, Administrator reserves the right to award the prize to the Potential Winner’s parent or legal guardian, who must also execute all documents on behalf of the minor.
In the event that:
(a) Potential Winner cannot be reached within 24 hours of initial notification from Administrator, or for any reason after a reasonable effort has been exerted, or the Potential Winner notification or Declaration is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable;
(b) Potential Winner declines or cannot accept, receive, or use the prize for any reason;
(c) Potential Winner fails to comply with the above or within any of the specified time periods;
(d) Potential Winner is found to be ineligible to enter the Sweepstakes or receive the prize;
(e) Potential Winner cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules or Terms of Service;
(f) Potential Winner fails to fulfill the Prize-related obligations or fails to pass the Background Check in Administrator’s reasonable discretion; or
(g) if Potential Winner is a Canadian resident and fails to answer the skill-testing question,
the Potential Winner shall be disqualified from the Sweepstakes, and an alternate Potential Winner may be randomly selected, at Administrator’s sole discretion, from among the other eligible entries received.

In the event of a dispute as to the identity of the entrant, any online entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized account holder of the e-mail account provided to Administrator at the time of entry and/or registration, provided such account holder meets the eligibility requirements for the Sweepstakes.
