website. Follow the on-screen
instructions to play the instant win game.

determine if the participant is a potential instant win prize winner, and the
participant shall receive an online message verifying if they are a potential
winner. If they are not determined as an
instant win prize winner, they will receive a non-winning message. If the participant is determined as a
potential instant win prize winner, they will receive a winner confirmation
message AND an associated unique prize claim code on their
results page. If the participant does
not receive the winner confirmation message and a valid unique prize claim code
for any reason, or receives the non-winning result message, then that
participant will not be a prize winner for that game play attempt.
Eligible participants may return to the Promotion website to play
the online instant win game up to one (1) time per day each day during the Promotion
Period. Each ‘day’ shall be defined as occurring between 12:00:00 am

determinant of the eligible time period. For a chance to be eligible to win an available instant win
prize (see below), game play attempts must occur before 11:59:59pm ET on 4/27/2024.
Instant Win prize winners will be randomly determined throughout
the Promotion Period. A maximum total of six (6) Instant Win

times. The first eligible participant who participates at or
following a scheduled winning date and time, shall receive a winning prize
message and unique prize claim code, and shall be eligible to claim the prize
award for that attempt (see below). If there is no game play
attempt at or following the scheduled winning time on any date during the Promotion
Period, then the instant win prize shall not be awarded for that associated
date.
Maximum of one (1) instant win prize award per person, email
address or household during the Promotion Period. After receiving a

Win prize winner, participants may not be re-awarded another Instant Win prize

receiving an online winner confirmation message must print or record their
